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.

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!

Despite it being a long day, the guide I had, Levin, made aure it was fun, informative and full of jokes. What a great person to have as a guide. And it was also a good genral overview tour.

Response from Host, May 2026

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.

Response from Host, May 2026

Liu was an excellent guide!

Kristina_E, May 2026

This was a great, comprehensive experience, and out guide Liu was incredibly knowledgeable! She was able to keep track and convey information to our very large group, and even when we reached a hiccup in the Sky Tree (elevators were down and we got stuck!) she made sure that she was handling our issue without compromising everyone else's experience. That said may be helpful not to have the boat ride after the Sky Tree. From what I understand this wasn't the first time people have encountered problems getting down from there! (Wouldn't have minded if the boat ride was cut out completely honestly)

Convenient Tokyo Bus Tour

Aileen_V, May 2026

This Tokyo bus tour was a great way to see the city’s must-visit sights in just one day. The bus made it very convenient by bringing us from one place to another without the hassle of long walks or complicated commuting. Everything went smoothly, and the guides were informative and knowledgeable. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend traveling in June as the weather can be quite hot.
