5.00This 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

5.00Nobu 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

5.00Ayaka was great. This was a walking tour and we got to see the trains going to Tokyo with our two kids. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. We went to a small town street market in Tokyo, Akihabra for our love of Anine, play Mario kart at a video game place and eat sushi. Ayako took videos and pictures of us.

5.00We visited Machan Taj west end Bangalore after telephoning Mr Ramnath Rangaraj and requesting for good service . It is my wife’s birth day and I wanted to be sure we get a good service . The Hotel has an unmatched ambience and we went to Machan to check out . We are vegetarians . This time around we chose a la carte and we ordered some wine . They brought around some nice French Chardonnay that was super with the right dryness . The starters were good and egg plant special Methi Venkata was super and so was dal makhani and we got a lovely cake as well . The service was par excellent , the food taste was super and we enjoyed it very . Thank you to all of the staff there many of whom we know by sight as we are regular visitors

5.00I loved my tour! I had an overnight/all day layover in Narita and this was the perfect way to make the most of my short visit. My wonderful guide Izumi met me at the hotel in Narita and helped me navigate the public transit system and get into Tokyo, all while teaching me about Japanese culture and history. We were able to visit several really interesting areas during the tour and I feel like I got a taste of what Tokyo has to offer. It left me wanting to return for a longer visit in the future!
Excellent
