Itinerary was carefully planned and it did not feel rushed at all. I am truly sorry but I forgot the Japanese name of the tour guide (I remember her English name, which I believe is Grace), she is not only very knowledgeable, but also very sweet and kind. Overall a very fun trip even when you’re going solo!
Simply the best

This is my first trip to Yokyo and this tour was a great introduction. It’s a long day, but well worth it as we saw a lot of the key highlights, including being on the Skydome observation deck at sunset. The guide commentary was very good and added a lot to the quality of the tour.
Welcome to Tokyo with a great tour guide

This was an excellent tour experience for a first visit to Tokyo Japan. The Hato Tour Bus company provided detailed instructions for the pick up location. Check in and pick up went smoothly. Our tour guide,Atsushi, introduced himself and told us we were going to a second pick up point. Once all passengers were boarded he gave extremely clear and detailed information about the day’s events. Throughout the tour Atsushi provided historical background and current information about the places we visited. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining! This was a very well organized and enjoyable tour. I would recommend it for any first time visitor to Tokyo. We had a great day!
