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 took loads of photos of us and gave us a printed photo as a keepsake. We had such fun and would highly recommend! Thank you Sam!

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!

We had the best time driving Go Karts through Tokyo, and Khan made it incredible from start to finish. He was so much fun, full of energy, and took us to some of the most iconic spots in the city. What really stood out was how safe and attentive he was the entire time — constantly checking on everyone and making sure we felt confident on the road.
Khan also went above and beyond by taking tons of amazing photos, capturing the whole experience so we could just enjoy the ride. It honestly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and his positive, enthusiastic energy made it even more special.
If you’re in Tokyo and want something exciting, unique, and unforgettable — book this tour with Khan. Five stars isn’t enough for how great it was!

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.
