Awesome tour

Marilyn_R, Jun 2026

This is a great way to see Tokyo if you have a long layover. Staff was great with the use of an interpreter App. It was a wonderful experience.

Amazing experience. Our tour guide even took us to places that weren’t listed in the tour so we could have a more natural experience.

Vashti_T, Feb 2025

Initially we were very disappointed as we requested an english speaking guide who would tell us alot about Tokyo as we travelled around. Our guide knew very little English and communicated via google translating....very time consuming and actually not very safe when he was doing this while driving. However, as the day went on, he did show us all the sights we wanted to see and tried very hard to communicate information...not the same as having fluent conversations , though. He was eager to take our pictures when needed. In future, I'm not sure how we could have made it more plain that we were English and wished an English guide. I gave the rating a 4 , as the sights were good and he was trying...otherwise, I would have rated it lower as we did not receive what we requested.

Complete Fraud

Josh_B, Jan 2025

The driver spoke zero English and there was NO tour. He was simply a driver. He could only communicate through a text translation app. He took us to the two places that we texted him in advance where we wanted to go. He didn’t show us around or explain anything when we got there. He could not even communicate when to get out of the car or where to meet him. We were left on our own to see the sites and had no idea where to go. I paid for a tour with an English speaking guide. I want a full refund. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM - SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Josh Ballen, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. I would like to clarify that although the tour was initially planned as a short layover tour, the actual available time was closer to 2 hours. Based on your understanding as a Delta staff member, you preferred to proceed with a tighter schedule and a later check-in timing. Given these conditions, I created a highly customized and efficient itinerary to accommodate your request as much as possible. I truly did my best to make the most of your very limited time and help you enjoy Tokyo. While I understand your concerns, I was quite surprised by the request for a full refund under these circumstances. I also noted that you seemed to enjoy the street food experience during the tour; however, some trash was left inside the vehicle afterwards. That said, I sincerely apologize that the experience did not meet your expectations. I will take your feedback seriously and continue improving how I communicate tour conditions in advance to avoid any misunderstandings. Thank you again for your feedback.

Quite good

Gary_E, Dec 2024

It was a good tour with a nice accommodating guide, who went out of his way to look after us. However, he didn’t really speak any English so Google translate was used but just doesn’t make up for proper interaction.
