    Our guide Nicolas was great! I learned a lot about the neighborhood and temples, the rites of Buddhism and Shinto and Nicolas has given some more tips on shopping and eating. He also spoke English very well! I was very satisfied and can recommend the tour to anyone

    Very nice tour! The guide was very helpful and knew a lot. He showed us the best melon pan bread stand!

  • The tour was fine but a lot of waiting and down time.

    This tour was fine. Our guide Naoya was a nice young man with good skills in English. He was on time and had good suggestions for the group in what to plan on for our roughly 90 minute tour. The temple was crowded so it was hard to hear him at times. He was knowledgeable about the temple and its history. Some interesting facts were added into the tour which is great. However we spent a lot of time just waiting for other tour members as they purchased ice cream and ate it or bought bread from the merchants there. So there was a lot of just standing around in the heat. So this rates as an average experience.

  • The tour was a great...

    The tour was a great choice for our first day in Japan and really enhanced our knowledge of Senso-Ji. Now was such a knowledgeable guide, and super patient with us! I really think the area would not have been as special without knowing all the facts, or understanding the traditions that Now taught us!
