OMG! What a ride! Very fun route through the city, where you see some of the top spots in Tokyo. Our tour guide, Johnny, was excellent... he led us with precision, safety, and still managed to make it fun while taking our photos. This experience is a MUST-DO... highly recommend!

It was good fun. The staff encouraged us to dress up and have fun poses for the many photos that they took. Seeing the different parts of Tokyo was pretty cool. I suggest going at night. One hour was enough.

Well this experience was a real hoot! For some reason driving for two hours around amongst the traffic of a major city at night in a go-kart dressed as a Toy Story figure seemed valid as well as safe!?
The time flew along with us hurtling up and down busy streets with locals and tourists alike waving and taking photos. Cars didn't seem perturbed by our group either, sometimes actually winding down their windows and having a chitchat at the lights.
Special shout out to Sam the tour guide who led us well and focussed on the wellbeing of every individual and the group as a whole with care and caution. Thoroughly recommend for a unique, fun, random evening activity!!

What a fun and exciting experience! It was thrilling to drive through Tokyo in a go-kart taking in the sites. Our guide Sam, gave clear instructions and made sure everyone was safe.

Sam and team lead us through the street of Tokyo like a pro. It was fun and exciting. Didn’t care about sites as I was concentrating on my safety. lol. It was also fun waving to all the people and children on the streets who were excited to see us and our fancy go karts. Great and special event in Tokyo. The wonderful team also returned my passport after I accidentally left it in the kart. I appreciated that soooooo much!

This was the highlight of our Japan trip! We didn’t know exactly what to expect and were a bit nervous at first, but our tour guide Madz was amazing ,super helpful and personable. He made us feel confident on the road and turned it into a 10/10 experience.
We recommend doing the tour at night , the city lights make it unforgettable!
Tip: If you’re visiting from another country, make sure to get your international driver’s license before you go.
We had an incredible time and would 100% do it again!

Brilliant way to see the city and great fun too. I had a solo session in the morning with clear roads, but if you want a bigger group and more pedestrians then go in the evening. Sam was a fantastic guide, kept good pace and great conversation too. I loved getting smiles and waves from kids while we were driving around.
