Momo was a great tour guide. She made the day super fun! I learned a lot about Japan and its culture and people. I saw many important sights and enjoyed the food, the matcha, the sights, the shopping and most of all tour guide Momo and the other tour participants. Thank you Momo!

You know it was a good tour when you remember your guides name months later. Kazu was the best tour guide ever. He gave us a lot of history about Tokyo, took us to great spots around the city, grouped all the solo travels together at lunch so we could make friends and hang out. It just was an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend.

Thank goodness for an air conditioned bus!

Michiko_D, Jul 2026

This bus tour is a particularly good option if you only have a few days in Tokyo. We were able to go to places all over the city and not have to worry about how to get from place to place, and it was really nice to get off our feet and sit in a comfortable air conditioned bus and relax and just enjoy looking out the windows, no stress between stops. We all loved our guide, Masa. She was so warm and friendly and knowledgeable and she really made the tour enjoyable.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Darn hot!

Steven_S, Jul 2026

We had a good time on this tour, even though it was extremely hot this day. Kazu, our guide did a great job keeping us entertained and informed and his infectious laughter kept the spirits up. The bus was comfortable and the ac worked which was very important. The sites we visited were interesting although I felt some were overloaded with tourist crowds. I felt it was a good value and would recommend it for quick overview of the city.

Kristi_M, Jul 2026

We got to see city highlights. The tour was organized with clear expectations about when and where to meet when we had time to explore locations on our own. Nice balance of seeing multiple things and not being too rushed. Not sure that the bay cruise added much. It was very short. The meal was delicious. We went during the summer and an umbrella was very nice when walking around for shade.

Graciano_P, Jul 2026

My family and I enjoy this tour a lot. We covered many important sites at Tokyo. We traveled in a bus with A/C. This was a life saver given how hot the days are in Japan now. Everyone was very friendly. The activities were very well coordinated. We ordered the tour with lunch. We enjoyed it very much. Last, we would like to mention the great work of Levin, our tour guide. He made our travel very enjoyable. He provided us with great review of Japan history related to the places that we visited.
