Very informative walking...

Very informative walking tour at an easy pace. My family and I learned so much about modern and historical landmarks in a short distance.

Wonderful tour to Senso-ji and walk along the Sumida river !

Gagandeep_S, May 2025

This is fabulous tour to take on day 1 of your trip to get context of the city, etiquette at shrines and temples. We had a wonderful stroll along the Sumida river, stunning views of Skytower while learning about the Edo period from Nori our tour guide. We then proceeded to walk to the senso-jo temple and explored local artisan shops, food stalls (we went during the golden week) up to the Senso ji temple! Nori was wonderful in sharing about the temple and the city, took us to all the perfect photo opportunities and her colleague also took some fantastic photos of us! I highly recommend the tour specially if it’s your first couple of days in Japan!

Naoko was smart, funny and informative - her expertise really elevated our journey at Senso-Ji temple. We felt like we got a very personalized experience. She was so engaging and personable answering questions and giving us time to stop, explore and take pictures. Highly recommend this tour.
