5.00Everything was perfect and customized to our desired. The tour was not rushed and we took all the pictures we wanted on every spot. We explore Tokyo in a day, ate the best sushi and ended up in a special place. The tour guide gives multiple food recommendations

5.00Had a fun time, lots of information provided at each place we stopped, very flexible with timings within the tour; you can spend longer or a shorter time, and Renaud was simply lovely and respectful - definitely would recommend for all, but especially for solo female travelers 🙏🏼

5.00Our guide was on time and explained the day and our stops. We headed off for an exhilarating day of historical sightseeing and shrines. His knowledge of the area and history was great. He directed us to a local restaurant for lunch that was very good. Being bilingual was an added bonus. A great tour.
Quick tour on foot and by train

4.00We had a 11 hr layover in Tokyo so we booked a 5-7 hour tour of Tokyo. Our guide led us through the train connections and helped us see some of the major sites of Tokyo. It was a lot of walking (25k steps) and a lot of train connections but we made good use of our time (app 6:45) and covered a lot of ground and was able to get a good overview of Tokyo in a short time.
