After the complete tour was done, the owner decided to up charge $70 more, as our pick up point was outside of Tokyo. We’re in Yokohama. I just felt this should’ve been conveyed when we bought the trip, not after. Don’t a surprise us when we were walking out of the car at the end of the tour. He said he has to go through a lot of trouble to drive outside of Tokyo.
Totally customizable. Anything we wanted to do was accommodated. On time for port pickup. Professional, and very helpful. Hideki was our driver and he was incredible. We had a late flight out of Henada and early departure from a cruise ship. He kept our luggage in the car, found a Harley Store for a tee shirt, found a store with Pokémon cards. Then got us to the right terminal. He was great. Highly recommend!
This is customizable. The guide can give suggestions if you need them. I enjoyed the sites I saw. It was to connect with the guide, Jamy, he k owes Tokyo well. I give him 5 stars.
A great way to see the sights in the comfort of a vehicle. We used this experience to learn the area and decide what we may be interested in seeing more of. Our guide, “Add” was very informative, we all enjoyed the day very much!
Must be mobile to do some walking at selected stops. We enjoyed the tour very much. John was very knowledgable and accommodating of any changes we requested along the way.
Viator and our guide provided better than expected service. We were able to experience so much of Tokyo in just 8 + hours.
John was a great tour guide and very flexible when we wanted to amend parts of the tour. He was knowledgeable and shared some history
Mike recommended the best way to see see the Tokyo sights he thought we should see based on the time we had. He was friendly, informative & flexible to itinerary changes we made.
Rejaul spoke fabulous English and was very helpful with out Tokyo Tour. At some parts he came with us to guide us.
Our driver/guide was excellent. He spoke excellent English and since we had a list of what we wanted he allowed us to do that instead of the typical sights plus he added suggestions and lunch recommendations. This excursion was our first day in Tokyo after a transpacific cruise and was a good introduction of the city. After our drop off at our hotel at the end of the day I left my walking cane in the car but didn’t realize it until I received a phone call from the front desk telling me he dropped it off. Thank you for the day and especially dropping off the cane. I don’t use a cane at home but with all the walking and steps in Tokyo it was necessary.
Everything was perfect- the car, the driver. We succeeded to visite the most interesting points de Tokyo.
We had a wonderful Tokyo city tour! We were able to see many beautiful and interesting places and learn more about Japanese culture and history. The tour was well organized, enjoyable, and a great way to explore Tokyo. We really enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo!
Perfect for our needs. Provided transportation, luggage support, transfer to hotel, and excellent tour of Tokyo.
Add it’s very polite, very knowledgeable, and make this experience very enjoyable! Took a lot of pictures will translate to incredible memories of this tour.
We had an amazing experience with our private driver, John, on our first day in Tokyo! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and shared so much helpful information that made our experience even more enjoyable. John was also extremely accommodating, patient, and flexible, making sure we were comfortable and able to make the most of our time exploring. His friendly personality and professionalism made the entire day feel effortless and stress-free. It was such a pleasure spending the day with him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Tokyo. We would absolutely recommend John to anyone visiting the city and would love to book with him again on our next trip!
Naoki was and excellent guide from start to finish. He was in touch before to customize our tour to include everything we wanted to see!
Our Driver Raja, was very knowledgeable, accommodating and flexible. While not a native of Japan, he still knew and shared a lot of the history of Japan.
We had to change our start time by 3 hours the day before our tour and it was no problem. We also modified the places we wanted to go/see on the fly and once again, no problem. He was always there, waiting for us when we were ready to move on to the
next place. You cannot go wrong, booking this PRIVATE tour!!!!
The driver picked us up in Yokohama at the cruise terminal port. It took a good hour to drive into Tokyo, but he explained a lot of things as we went. The really nice thing about this tour, he would recommend stopping at a place and if it didn't interest us, he made a different recommendation. Best part, at the end of the day, our tour guide dropped us off at our hotel.
Mike picked us up at the cruise terminal and took us in a wonderful city tour. We saw all the highlights, had ample time to explore at the stops. Mike was an excellent driver and got us to all the top spots with ease. He even stopped at a nice ramen restaurant for it lunch and returned us to our hotel at the end is the tour. We were very happy with the tour.
We hired an independent driver to take us on a tour of Tokyo with my elderly parents. They would not be capable of taking the subway. A few days before the tour we connected by WhatsApp. I shared my proposed itinerary with the driver. We started at the cruise ship terminal on Odaiba Island. Our driver Jon picked us up and we drove past the Tokyo sky tree on the way to the Senso-Ji Temple. He dropped us off near the entrance so we could walk for about an hour touring the site. I then sent him a message when we were ready for pick up. We drove near Ueno Park and then Jon dropped us off at the Imperial Palace East Gardens so we could walk around. We then went to the fish market and Jon joined us for lunch. It was great to be able to just chat. Our last stop of the day was Meiji Jingu Shrine. We then drove past the Tokyo Tower on the way back to the cruise ship terminal. Overall, I really appreciated that we could travel at our own pace. We could go to the sites that we wanted to see and that Jon was a terrific guide.
Naiko was wonderful we enjoyed our time together! Very patient and kind!. We would recommend tour to all
Today’s tour with Jone was so pleasant and enjoyable for us both. Jone told us so much information about the Toyko city. Love the whole day.
Ai was super accommodating! We wanted to see Mount Fuji and she did everything in her power to make that possible. Even stopping along the way to buy souvenirs for our grandchildren.
Excellent tour. Great way to see so many of the sights in just one day. Our tour guide, Deric, was superb. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating and he amended the schedule to what we wanted to see. It was 100% customised. We liked that there were only 2 of us in a very comfortable vehicle and we could spend the time we wanted at each stop. We were not rushed. We highly recommend this private tour of Tokyo with Deric.
Our first time in Tokyo we found our Private Driver experience so much fun and Deric our driver was very knowledgeable
We had lots of laughs and he made our trip so worthwhile
So glad we made the decision to book through Viator
Jamy was an absolutely wonderful driver & guide. He pointed out places that we past while driving & he suggested a ramen restaurant that was great. If you have a choice of drivers, we definitely recommend Jamy.
This was an absolute 10 out of 10 day! From the pre-pickup communication to the end of our tour we had even more information and support than we even thought we might need. Ken was the perfect guide - a careful & skilled driver with exceptional knowledge about Tokyo & Japan. He was friendly, courteous and fun! We highly recommend this young man. You will not be sorry.
Mike was the best, most informative, easy going, professional driver we have ever had. Perfect service and care.
Loved this Tokyo tour. Our driver/host Deric was great! Informative, friendly, helpful. We were able to customize our tour and adapt to the weather. Deric had great suggestions. We saw a lot more with this tour than we would have seen on our own. Would definitely recommend!
Jone met us at the terminal and helped with our luggage. He was friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw many sites and he added a lunch stop at our request. When it was time to get into our hotel/appt he was invaluable with his assistance. Would highly recommend him
