Had a great time!!! Mai, our tour guide was awesome. Her English was excellent and she did a great job of explaining the sites and meeting locations. The shrines and temples were very interesting and lunch was very good. The highlights for me were the Sky Tree Tower and cruise.

This was a great start to our Tokyo trip. We went from an ancient Temple to streets to winding streets and a great lunch to the Sky Tower and harbor cruise and driving through the streets of Tokyo with a wonderful very charming and very knowledgeable guide. Then give us an idea of what we wanted to dive into more afterwards.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks Mai for an amazing day!

Charlton_G, May 2026

I had an excellent time exploring Tokyo with Mai-shen as my tour guide. The tour was filled with fascinating sights, amazing views of the city, and plenty of opportunities for shopping, making it a perfect way to experience Tokyo's unique blend of modern attractions and cultural highlights. Mai-shen was knowledgeable, informative, and engaging throughout the day. She provided interesting insights about the locations we visited and was always happy to answer questions. What I appreciated most was the pace of the tour. Mai-shen ensured that we had sufficient time at each stop to explore, take photos, shop, and fully enjoy the experience without ever feeling rushed. Her professionalism, organization, and friendly demeanor made the day both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this tour and especially Mai-shen to anyone looking to discover the best of Tokyo in a well-planned and relaxed environment.

Tokyo in One Day

Ravi_B, May 2026

Our guide Sora was a great guide! She was very personable and got to learn a little bit about everyone on the tour. It was a lot to see in one day, but great way to see Tokyo in one day. I did feel a little rushed at Sky Tree due to the crowds and being asked to get down sooner, so we wouldn’t miss the bus…but overall a great guide and tour!

Long, fast paced tour.

Vikramjit_S, May 2026

Long, Fast paced tour but good to cover key temples, imperial gardens, etc. Strict on timings. Bus is comfortable and it’s generally safe to leave behind bags while visiting sites. Good English speaking guide. Must do if you have very limited days to see Tokyo.

Tokyo Coach Tour

Elaine_G, May 2026

This is a great trip to see a lot of Tokyo in comfort. Our guide was called Lovely and she was fun and informative. She remained calm and patient whist passengers asked questions which, if they had listened in the first place, would have known the answer to. The ice cream / coffee/ tea stop was good. The lunch provided was tasty and plentiful catering for most dietary needs. We enjoyed the tour, the only thing that I would have happily skipped was the cruise at the end. There wasn't much to see, especially if you didn't have a seat next to the water.
