Top Tokyo Bus Tours - page 6

Eric was a wonderful guide. He gave so much good information on the whole tour, even as we passed through different areas. Every part of this tour was awesome. The only thing I would mention is if you have a disability or issue with stairs, there are quite a few temples that have a lot of stairs, but even being on the ground level, there was plenty to see and do. One other side note, if you are a big or tall person, the buses for tours here are very narrow and without leg room. If you worry about that, a private small group would be better for you. Also a big shout out to our drivers, despite the holiday traffic, were able to navigate through different routes to cut what might have been a 3-4 hour traffic jam to only 2 hours.

That was an insane, terrifying, fun, disturbing, crazy and cool experience. Driving up to 70km/hr through the streets and over the massive bridges of Tokyo in traffic with no helmets. As I was doing it, I kept asking myself why I put my family in such a dangerous situation. Then kept telling myself to “trust the process”. When talking about it at the end of the tour even my teenager said he was scared. But it all worked well and our guide Gia was absolutely wonderful. She safely navigated us around, ensuring we never got caught in an intersection or that the group got split up. She also took amazing photos of our group. It was an exhilarating experience, but not for the faint of heart!

Gahku was our subaraschi Guide! He is such a professional cyclist always calling out every Turn, „clear“ to be confident no one is coming. He did such a fantastic job. The Route is approximately 17 miles, however it felt more like 8 miles. He is very measured with the changing of the Traffic lights, you go right thru, the Temples, Shrines, backalleys, truly best bike tour in Tokyo. Arigato!

The history and insight provided by our guide, as well as the accompanying English program and literature enhanced the experience. Even if we had been able to win the online battle and purchase tickets directly to save a little money, we would have missed out on a lot of the unique details of this iconic sport (and missed out on having a bowl of chanko).

All and all a good tour. A little long on the front end with time spent in the cemetery. But the rest of the tour was a great introduction to the city and the culture on our first day in country. Charlotte, our guide was great. She looked out for our safety, answered all questions, and provided a nice historical background to what we were seeing.

Fantastic day out. Exhausting and difficult at times because of mobility issues. The public transport system is not as catering for the disabled as previously expected. There are a lot of steps to encounter. But Akiri, our guide, was very adaptable and much appreciated. Thank you Akiri.

Our private car tour to Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko with Masae (guide) and Toshi (driver) was absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, Masae’s communication stood out—she carefully tailored the itinerary around our interests and even factored in the unique timing of the Fire Festival on the day of our visit. Her message to us set the tone for the entire day: thoughtful, flexible, and focused on making sure we experienced the very best. On the day itself, Masae’s guidance and Toshi’s expert driving made the trip seamless and stress-free. Masae’s knowledge of the region, combined with her warm and accommodating approach, allowed us to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. She adjusted plans as needed based on the weather and traffic, ensuring that we could make the most of every moment. Toshi was a wonderful driver—safe, reliable, and always ready to get us comfortably from one highlight to the next. Together, they made a fantastic team, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the journey. If you’re looking for a memorable and personalised experience to Mt. Fuji, we highly recommend booking with Masae and Toshi. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.

This tour was a fantastic experience. Charles was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and cheerful, and he has a clear passion for photography. He gave me some fantastic tips on using my phone camera and how to get the best shots, and he helped me get amazing photos that I've sent to my family and friends back home. If you want to see Tokyo through a different lens, quite literally, and explore the intricate twists and turns around the maze of Shinjuku and Shibuya, then this is the tour for you.
