Best tour if you have just one day in Japan. Ms. Mizuho was very cheerful, kind and helpful right from the moment our tour started. We visited Meiji Shrine, Imperial Palace, Sensoji shrine, Tokyo Sky tree tower and the ferry ride. As a once in a lifetime activity, this was a very memorable experience. We wish you come back to Japan again and experience this wonderful place better.
A full day visiting some of Tokyo’s leading landmarks - well paced program, allowing free time in some of the key places . Our guide, Na-Chan was absolutely brilliant: charming, funny , informative , making sure we were ok with everything . She even taught us some Japanese.

I enjoyed the tour, the girls were nice and professional.
I only didn't like the meeting point, was too far from the station. my hotel was near the central station. I had to run for 20 min under the rain just to reach this point. I believe it should be easier if it is a bit closer to any train station. I had the day after another tour and the meeting point were near the station.
also, I believe they should change the boat trip to something else. it's a bit boring, or maybe pick a different direction for the boat there was nothing special about the view on both side of the river only old building and houses during the trip ( except the Asahi building ) and until we reached the end where the long bridge. however in general was a day around Tokyo :)

Despite completing this tour during the typhoon this was a very enjoyable experience! The tour took you to many different sites around Tokyo while having a tour guide explaining the significance and history of each location.
Despite the boat tour at the end being cancelled due to the weather, an alternative arrangement was made at the Edo Museum by the company and tour guide.
Our tour guide Aki was amazing! She provided great insight on each location, as well as being extremely knowledge and friendly. She provided recommendations of food places to try and alternative Japanese knife shops, as well as making conversation with everyone on our bus.
This was my favourite tour I have been on in Japan! Would definitely recommend, no matter the weather!

Prior to the tour, communications with the company were easy and questions were answered rapidly. The tour stops were exactly as delineated in the description of the tour.
Yuti was a great tour guide. He provided highlights for each stop, told us what to expect, and laid out clear meeting points and times. Otsukare, Yuti!

This tour was very comprehensive but probably 1-2 hours too long.
Lisa, our tour guide, was excellent.
Would recommend if they shortened the duration. Perhaps shorter intervals at the sky tower and bay cruise.

We took the day bus tour of Tokyo. Lisa our guide was fantastic!! Very sweet & knowledgeable. The only negative comment is that the boat ride at the end seemed to be a waste of time. It is a long bus ride & then a good 20 minute walk to the pier for a 10 minute boat ride.

Meg was great! She guided us well through a full day of activities. The check in process and pick up process was kind of slow since we got picked up in Ginza then had to mosey over to shinjuku but once we got started it was a packed day. Got to see lots of stuff we wouldn’t otherwise see. Meg was so sweet. Great time was had.

I do not recommend this tour. This was one of the few experiences I wish I had not done in Japan. The guide had limited language ability and the prerecorded AI voice was played for most of the tour. We started late and very little information was given to us about the fantastic sights we were seeing along the way. We abandoned the tour early.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations.
We’d like to clarify that the prerecorded audioguide is sometimes used to provide language assistance for guests who are not native English speakers. It is intended to help ensure that everyone can understand the information and enjoy the sights along the tour.
That said, we understand your concerns regarding the amount of information provided during the tour. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will share it with our team as we continue to improve the experience for all of our guests.
We’re grateful that you took the time to share your honest feedback and are sorry that we were unable to provide the experience you had hoped for.
