Tokyo is a massive city, and if you’re planning to stay for at least a few days, it’s highly recommended to take a guided tour at the beginning of your trip. This will give you a better idea of how to explore Tokyo efficiently.
Our half-day guided tour, led by an experienced English-speaking Japanese guide, offers a perfect introduction to both modern and traditional Tokyo. The tour begins at the historic Shogun's castle, now known as the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. You’ll then experience traditional Japanese culture in the old downtown area of Asakusa, where you’ll visit the iconic Sensoji Temple, originally established in 628. Finally, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Tokyo from the observation decks of Tokyo Skytree, located at 350m and 450m.

Amazing half day tour (great for families)

5.00Amazing half day tour with our master guide Hiromi. She was fantastic and personable. She took us to 4 different sites and tailored the sites (as we had already been to Shibuya). More importantly she was amazing to our children, even creating games. Thank you Hiromi and we look forward to the next time we are in Tokyo.
Fun walking tour

5.00Hiromi was our tour guide for the day. She showed us the imperial palace, Asakusa, Sensoji, and Tokyo Skytree. Hiromi was extremely kind and patient to our children and very knowledgeable about the sights. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

5.00Our first day in Tokyo was the full day Tokyo tour where we visited an array of tourist attractions including Meiji Jingu Shrine, Imperial Palace, Asakusa, Skytree and Hinode Pier. A great way to get to know the city! Our tour guide, Momo was informative, funny and available to all customers who required information.
