What are people saying about Tokyo

Charles_L, Oct 2026

A must to do.

This is a must if you’re in Tokyo. Way more fun and information than expected. Everyone one who wanted to challenge the wrestlers got to at two different points. The English was great and easy to understand. They were. very approachable. And great with young children. Little notes to go along with it bring a fork if that’s all you’re used to eating with and you need a phone to order drinks. To enter, do not go up the stairs it’s around the side.

Official Street Go-Kart Tour - Akihabara

ELRINA_D, Oct 2026

A must-do Tokyo Experience!

We had an absolute blast on our go-kart tour through Tokyo! It was tremendously fun and easily one of the highlights of our trip. A massive thank you to our guide, Julian, for making us feel so safe throughout the entire ride. His hand signals were super clear, so that we always knew exactly where to go. He shared great info about the neighbourhoods we drove through and took fantastic photos of us along the way. Don't miss out on this experience - 10/10!

Private Tokyo Tour: Local Guide, Custom Stops & Hidden Gems

Kathrine_M, Oct 2026

Seeing Tokyo with a friend

Exploring with Amir was like exploring a new town with an old friend. He was keen to ensure we saw what interested us, but at the same time he was able to add in some suggestions we hadn’t thought of. As this was our first time in Tokyo he gave us a quick lesson on using the metro, and pointed out an ATM near our hotel. Amir had a great knowledge of Japanese culture as well as the history behind it, but was able to make it feel like a casual conversation with a friend as opposed to a history lesson. We loved our time with Amir, and would certainly recommend doing this tour.

Samurai Training Tokyo Asakusa

Ha_H, Jul 2026

Amazing family experience! Fun, educational, and great photos. Highly recommend!

Our family had an amazing time at the Samurai training course. I brought my two boys (ages 14 and 12), and it turned out to be one of the best activities we’ve done together. Jiro sensei was a fantastic instructor — knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. He walked us through the importance of respect and discipline before moving into basic maneuvers and various finishing techniques. He struck a great balance between keeping things educational and keeping it fun, which isn’t easy when you’re teaching both adults and kids. What really made this special was how much it brought us together as a family. All three of us were learning something completely new, cheering each other on, and laughing through the process. It’s rare to find an activity that genuinely engages everyone regardless of age. A nice bonus — they took great photos and videos throughout the session, which gave us wonderful keepsakes to look back on. Highly recommend this for families, couples, or anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. We’d absolutely do it again.

Tokyo Asakusa Rickshaw Tour

Glenn_M, Jul 2026

A different experience

If you’re thinking about taking a rickshaw tour in Asakusa, ask for Diego. We had such a brilliant experience with him from start to finish. He was so friendly and easy to chat to that it felt like we were exploring the area with a local friend rather than being on a tour. His English was excellent, which made it easy to ask questions, and he shared some really interesting stories and insights about Asakusa that we would never have discovered on our own. He also took some fantastic photographs for us along the way. He knew all the best spots and made sure we came away with memories we’ll genuinely treasure, not just the usual quick holiday snaps. The tour was relaxed, fun and full of little details that made us appreciate the area even more. Diego has a great personality and genuinely enjoys meeting people, which really comes across. One of our favourite moments was teaching him the Irish word “craic”. Hopefully he’s adding it to every tour now because he definitely brought plenty of it himself! Thank you, Diego, for making our visit so memorable. You’re a credit to the team and we’ll be recommending you to anyone visiting Tokyo.

David_T, Jun 2026

Exceeded expectations. Well run.

It really exceeded my expectations. The sword training was fun but not silly. Plenty of time for photos. Our instructor Kenny was super nice and knowledgeable. Our class had 10 people. My teenagers and i enjoyed the sword fighting (1 hr) as well as the cultural museum tour afterward (1hr). The tour had about 20 people. The tour ended with a shiraken throwing contest for the entire group. My wife did the tour only but she was allowed to watch our sword training.

Tea Ceremony Workshop in Tokyo by the Official Instructor

Melissa_P, Jun 2026

Authentic and Calming Tea Ceremony

One of my favorite experiences of a recent trip to Tokyo. The tea ceremony was authentic and performed with reverence and respect. I learned so much about the history and meaning of Chado and Japanese culture. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in the peaceful, meditative practice of tea. And I loved the concept of "this time is the only time," cherishing a specific moment that cannot be repeated.

Great host and great sake

First, I must compliment the host of this tasting. Joe was cool, funny, and knowledgeable. He knew everything you could ever want to know about sake, from how it’s made to the best places to buy in Japan. He made the experience enjoyable. The sake was tasty and we tried several different varieties with different profiles. You definitely don’t get cheated with the amount sake.

Asakusa Sword Experience - includes Museum tour Ticket

Mahriar_H, Apr 2026

A must do experience in Tokyo

An absolutely fun and amazing experience. If you are looking for an immersive activity to learn about Japanese Samurai culture and history then this is the place to go. The activities led by the instructor were well paced and very fun to do. He was absolutely brilliant with his instructions as well as his sense of humour and warmth towards us. The museum tour afterwards was also absolutely amazing. The guide did a phenomenal job of both entertaining and educating the visitors as we toured the exhibits. Honestly she would have made a phenomenal history teacher if she ever decided to become one! Visiting this museum is a huge reason why I have enjoyed my holiday to Japan thus far!

KianYik_W, Feb 2026

A heartwarming experience

We had a great time with Taka-san and his wife. Their hospitality went beyond simply teaching us a few authentic japanese recipes and culture. It was their warmth and kindness that stuck with us the most long after the experience. The thoughtful gifts for the kids as well as their patience in answering never-ending questions and sharing their knowledge will be forever cherished.
