Just enough structure with lots of flexibility and a really nice guide who even found us an anime shop to buy something for our daughter

Great Day Tour

Nicole_S, Jul 2026
We had an awesome tour today with John as our guide. He gave us a ton of useful information throughout the day and even indulged us when we decided to change the original itinerary and spend 2 hours shopping in Ginza. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an excellent day tour of Tokyo.

Private Tokyo Tour with Custom Itinerary

Cathy_W, Jul 2026
We had an amazing experience and highly recommend this tour! It was absolutely worth the cost. One of the best parts was that the itinerary was completely customizable, so we were able to visit the places that interested us most while also getting great recommendations from our driver on other sights we shouldn't miss. Having a private, air-conditioned vehicle made a huge difference, especially in the Tokyo heat. Being able to hop in and out without worrying about navigating trains or figuring out directions saved us so much time and made the day completely stress-free. Our driver was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the day. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Tokyo, and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

Mike was great

Kirk_H, Jul 2026

An incredible experience and the perfect way to start your Tokyo adventure! This tour gave us an excellent introduction to the city, helping us understand Tokyo and Japanese culture so we could make the most of the rest of our trip. Our guide, Ken, was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, making every stop interesting and enjoyable. We learned so much in just a few hours and discovered places and insights we would never have found on our own. If you’re visiting Tokyo, don’t miss this tour—it’s worth doing on your very first day. Muito obrigado, Ken and Sakura Tokyo! We’ll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I would highly recommend Jason. He was a great driver and very knowledgeable about Japan’s history. We were able to explore pretty much of all of Tokyo in 1 day in a comfortable van for a family of 4. Best day of Tokyo with best driver!

A day in Tokyo

Catherine_D, Jun 2026
Great way to see Tokyo in a day! Highly recommend this private tour and our driver Kazuo. He picked us up on time and drove us back to our hotel. Kazuo made some great recommendations and we were able to change as needed. Kazuo considered our 14 yr old as far as places to see. Kazuo dropped us off near each destination of our liking and picked us up when we were ready to move on. Thank you Kazuo !

Our Amazing Tokyo Tour

JoAnn_D, Jun 2026
As first-time visitors to Tokyo, we wanted to spend a day being immersed in the city and learning about the people and customs. Our guide, Naoki, was excellent in all respects. Every minute was filled with experiences, sight-seeing, and great conversation. We learned so much about the city and its people! Thanks, Naoki!

I hope you have Mike as a guide.

Nathan_Y, Jun 2026
The tour was very well thought out and at the same time very flexible. Our guide Mike was very knowledgeable of Tokyo and its history. He was very kind and considerate of our children’s needs and took us to an amazing Ippudo Ramon restaurant that was super kid friendly. I highly recommend having Mike as your guide. 5 stars!

Naoki made touring Tokyo a breeze. He is very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, accommodating, and patient. He is a very safe driver and his vehicle is very comfortable. Thank you so much, Naoki!

Thank you John - superb tour

Steve_J, Jun 2026
We had not done any research and didn’t know which places to see - John /Aviator made an itinerary for us - which was excellent. John knew Tokyo and the history very well - his English was excellent and he is very well informed. Our knowledge of Japan and Tokyo have increased greatly - in just one day. John made the day very enjoyable - we visited some superb places. Always parking close, allowed time to explore and picked up at the exact point and time agreed.

Everything accomplished and more!

Expectations exceeded? Check!

Randy_G, Jun 2026
This tour was everything we had hoped for and more. Our guide Jason was amazing! He was so kind, patient and really took great care of us. He was flexible, managed our logistics expertly, and even threw in a few bonus experiences that made the day extra special. He has a depth of knowledge of Japanese culture and history that is rare. His love for what he does and eagerness to share made this tour a highlight of our time in Japan! Highly recommend, and if you get Jason, ready assured you will be in good hands!

Very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly.

Jennifer_S, Jun 2026
Jamy, our amazing driver and tour guide, made our day extremely memorable. He was flexible and accommodating and each part of the day was an adventure. We laughed a lot, enjoyed great conversation, and will always remember this day. Thank you.

Great day!

Great itinerary and terrific guide! Ken was wonderful and caring! Adjusted our stops as needed and provided insights at each stop!

A great way to see Tokyo if you have limited time

Michael_S, Jun 2026
This was a “seamless” experience. Our driver met us at the cruise terminal and took us around Tokyo. He made suggestions and waited for us while we explored. He also told us about the history of Japan, gave us a little insight into living in Tokyo, and explained the history of some of the sites.

Had a great day with...

TramT_T, Jun 2026
Our driver tours guide Kevin was very helpful, friendly and informative about our trip. He helped us with a lots of information about fish markets and shrines which help us to move around the areas more easily. Very outgoing and easy to talk too.

Top Notch

Glynis_B, Jun 2026
Excellent day visiting the highlights of Tokyo! Kevin our driver was top notch, adjusting the itinerary to suit us. Kevin even investigated and found a robot cafe that I wanted to visit -very impressed. Tokyo is vast and getting around takes time between sights so, this private tour is by far the easiest way to do it. Can’t recommend this experience enough.

full day of initially exploring Tokyo

Lawrence_G, May 2026
Very prompt and professional our driver and guide was fluid in multiple languages and worked diligently to tailor our day to our wishes. I would recommend both Viator and Jamie and tour operator and guide.

Flexible and comfortable

Fernando_B, May 2026
Excellent experience, Kevin was very helpful and flexible., his English very good. The van was perfect for the 4 of us.
