Best Tokyo Experience

5.00This was the most wonderful Tokyo experience with the sincerely best host Tom. Tom's passion for Tokyo and it's sights is maybe impossible to beat, he took us on an adventure to see customised cars in Tokyo as per my son's request and he did let us down. Taking us around Tokyo and to a couple of car enthusiast hot spots. I highly recommend Tom to everyone and anyone - thanks Tom, this was our Tokyo highlight!
Just do it!

5.00I am so happy we booked this tour with Tom. It was a last minute decision, and was so, so worth it. I have been a huge fan of Japanese cars for over 20 years, and seeing so many of my favorite models in one place was a dream come true. We met Tom at the meeting point, and he welcomed us with water and a great intro featuring Yoshi. His car was clean and spacious, he's a great driver, and the Fast and Furious playlist was the perfect vibe. He knows all of the best spots for photos, and even took photos of my husband and I gawking at the amazing cars. I don't want to give away the whole tour, so trust me when I say just book the tour! You will be glad you did.

5.00The tour guide was super friendly and informative, he offered snacks and water. He answered all our questions and put a lot of effort in to the tour. He even thought of providing hand warmers to make our parking lot experience more pleasant. And to top it all off he even dropped us back to our hotel. Great experience!
A must do experience in Tokyo!

5.00It's was amazing. Tom is very entertaining and he is invested! It was by far one of the best experiences we had in Tokyo. Thank you Tom for being so nice, flexible and amazing guide. We changed location a few times in order to catch the best meet ups and Tom is a true car enthusiastic. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

5.00This experience truly exceeded all our expectations! Tom is a super cool guy — friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. From start to finish, he made sure everything was perfectly organized and did absolutely everything to ensure we had the best possible time. The atmosphere was great, the ride was unforgettable, and we felt taken care of the entire time. I couldn’t recommend this experience more — it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks again, Tom!

5.00Was wondering if this experience was worth it, or if it was to go in a jdm car. This tour completely shattered my doubt, absolutely best guide and best experience too. Incredibly easy-going throughout the whole ride, and truly makes it the highlight of a Tokyo trip. Monday night does not disappoint

5.00I had the chance to visit the famous Daikoku car meet in Japan, and it was absolutely amazing! Our driver had everything planned out perfectly — great music, snacks, water, photos… the vibe was on point from start to finish. Even the drive to the meetup spot was an experience on its own, and once we arrived, it was pure heaven for any car enthusiast: unique cars, super welcoming people, and an atmosphere you can’t find anywhere else. A huge thank you to our driver for his professionalism, great energy, and all the thoughtful touches that made the night unforgettable. If you’re visiting Japan and love cars, this is an absolute must-do!
