We had a wonderful tour of Tokyo. It was our first time there (day 1 of our visit), and we were able to see many of the iconic sights of the city. Abdul was friendly and knowledgeable about the different places we went to, and spoke English fluently. He also took many photos of us during the tour and later sent us a video of them, a great memory of the day! This personal tour is a relaxing and efficient way to see the city.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Tokyo with our guide, especially Skytree, the market lunch, and shopping for treats! We appreciate your feedback about the walking and the length of the day. Our private tours can be adjusted to suit the group’s pace, with extra breaks whenever needed. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Japan! 🇯🇵
We had a very good excursion, but it was a bit long for one of our group. (They can always sit in the car for long walking locations!) Visited most of the major sights.
Memorable locations: Skytree, Fish Market (it has other stuff too including knife stores) and we had a great lunch there, SHIBUYA Crossing (Scramble). Imperial Palace, and Electronic Street area (where we also looked at electronics and snagged accessories and snacks-love the Pink Kit-Kats).
Easy to customize. IMPORTANT: You will buy Skytree sights tickets while in route.
Lots of walking and some standing. You will have to walk inclines at SKYTREE.

Our tour with Abdul was our favorite day in Tokyo. Abdul was incredibly informative. We are thankful for everything we learned and experienced. Abdul was accommodating and supportive of the tired children on the trip.
This tour was a great way to check off many “to do” elements of visiting Tokyo without exhausting ourselves further. If you are visiting Tokyo, you will be fortunate if this tour is available for your travel dates.

For our first time in Tokyo, we had a fantastic tour of the city. We really enjoyed Abdul as a guide - he was knowledgeable and provided an interesting overview of the key sites. We covered a lot of territory in the day. He kindly took lots of pictures of us, which was appreciated. Would recommend!

This tour is a pleasant way to get a first feel for Tokyo, especially if it’s your very first time here. Our guide — who was also the driver — was very friendly and made the experience comfortable and easy. He drove safely and took us to several interesting spots around the city. His English was limited and the explanations were quite basic, so it’s helpful to do a bit of your own research beforehand to fully appreciate each place. But as an introduction to Tokyo, it’s a convenient and enjoyable way to get oriented and see the main highlights.

Abdul was very well informed ands pleasant on our tour. He engaged well with us and tried to bring my son out of his shell, but also knew when to leave him alone. We got some great pictures and souvenirs of the stops we went to. He was also able to accommodate us and cut the tour short when my husband’s hip was bothering him, and even offered a few remedies to help out. We had a great time with Abdul and would recommend him to anyone needing a first time tour of Tokyo.

It's was our first trip to Toyko and could not have been more pleased with the diversity of our tour. Abdul was our guide or better described as companion and was extremely pleasant, entertaining and knowledgeable. His insight in to the culture and background of the places we visited was invaluable. We must give the tour operator and Abdul our highest recommendation and insure anyone else that they will not be disappointed with the experience. Good luck Abdul may your future be filled with the happiness you shared with us!

We can’t say enough about Abdul who filled two roles of being a chauffeur and a tour guide! He was so helpful with navigating everything and made the day so effortless for us! He took great photos and explained a lot about the history. He was kind and personable and was truly a gem and made us feel like Japan was home. He took great care of my elderly mother and my baby! He even held our shopping bags and told us which vendors to get things from. Abdul really made the day memorable and fun!

This was a wonderful, full day! We were able to adjust our experience as we had already spent personal time at the SkyTree so our tour guide Abdul allowed us to spend more time in another shopping area of the city which was fantastic! He shared good tips of where to shop and eat which was great! We had interesting conversations with Abdul, which made the day a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour. It is much easier to have a tour guide such as Abdul move you around the large city and explain what you’re looking at. My only feedback would be if it would have been more clear as to where we get picked up to start the tour. When I booked the tour through Viator, they wouldn’t allow us to put in our hotel for pick up. They offered 3/4 options for pick up locations all were about 45-55 min away on the train. Other than that, would recommend this tour!!!

Abdul was amazing! He was insightful and generous with his time. We are positive that we wouldn’t have learned as much as we did without his knowledge. We were perfectly satisfied with the choice of attractions that we visited and we would definitely recommend this tour!

Abdul was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and flexible with the itinerary. We learned a lot, saw so much of the city by car, and enjoyed our day with him. He also took numerous photos of us along the way, which was an unexpected treat.

We had a wonderful guide, Abdul, who pick us up at our hotel on time. He was very well spoken in english and very informative, vast knowledge with Tokyo and surrounding areas. He took us all around the sights we like to see- especially cherry blossoms.
Also he is a great photographer and took excellent photos and created a wonderful video photo album for our memory of Tokyo visit.
We highly recommend Abdul to anyone who is planning to visit Tokyo.

This is a comprehensive customizable tour of the highlights of Tokyo. We had the good fortune to have Abdul as our guide, he was wonderful! He paced the visit to suit us, waited patiently for us and even took photos at each stop and sent them to us! It was a terrific introduction to the major sights of Tokyo.

The tour covered major highlights of Tokyo - temples/shrines, parks, landmarks, neighborhoods. Abdul was a gracious host, spoke perfect English, and was very accommodating. He took lots of pictures for us which were fun to have as momentos from the day. Tokyo is so sprawling, so a lot of time driving! Could have used a bit more commentary/history, but Abdul was happy to answer our questions. I highly recommend Banzai tours, and Abdul. I appreciated the good pre-tour communication too.
