5.00Ryo was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible with both the schedule and timing. He also gave us plenty of great tips for the rest of our stay in Tokyo. The day before the tour, he reached out to confirm details and helped fine-tune the plan so we only visited places we truly wanted to see and hadn’t already explored. We can’t recommend this tour with Ryo highly enough!
