This tour was a great introduction to Tokyo, making it feel much more approachable. I loved the fact that we went everywhere by public transportation, and walked around each area, as it gave me a chance to really get a feel for things. My guide, Api, was wonderful, and I felt as though I was being shown around the city by a friend.
Fantastic Day With Nobu

Nobu was absolutely amazing! He took us to see more than we ever thought possible. His ability to get us to the next location using the train system was amazing. Also, the process with Viator and City Unscripted was simple and efficient. If you have a layover at Narita, this is the trip for you. Asked for Nobu!
Great experience
