Worst tour ever

Steve_F, Feb 2026

If I could would give this a minus 4, not minus 5 as the driver did a great job. Paid $505, then we were ambushed with a $800 taxi fee and $225 guide fee. Never agreed to this. The guide was rude, unpleasant, and barely able to speak English. Viator supervisor said $505 was a management fee ??? Settled paying about $400, what was a 7 hour tour really was 3 hours and cost about $900 total. O, the guide had her lunch bill added ours. O, we stood in line for 30 minutes for lunch, and the restaurant had only one, yes 1 item on their menu. Wife didn't like it. Just awful experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the transportation cost is clearly stated in the tour description as an additional expense. This information is provided prior to booking to ensure full transparency, and many of our guests review and acknowledge these details before confirming their reservation. However, we are very concerned about your mention of a $225 guide fee. This is not a standard or authorized charge within our pricing structure. Neither our company nor the assigned guide requested or collected such a fee. We respectfully ask for more detailed information regarding this claim — specifically, who requested this payment, when it was requested, and how it was paid. We take this matter very seriously and would appreciate any supporting details or documentation so we can investigate thoroughly. Regarding lunch, the guide selected a well-known restaurant in Asakusa that is highly regarded for its quality. In Japan, it is quite common to wait in line at popular restaurants, as many reputable establishments do not take reservations and focus on maintaining high standards rather than quick turnover. A 30-minute wait is generally considered normal at sought-after dining spots. The restaurant specializes in a single signature dish, offered in three different portion sizes of meat. Many traditional Japanese restaurants focus on perfecting one specialty rather than offering an extensive menu, which is part of the local culinary culture. The guide’s intention was to provide an authentic and well-regarded dining experience.
