Great first day in Tokyo

Yvonne_Q, Nov 2025

Tour was designed around what we were interested in. Travelled mostly by train and great to have the guide as the stations are enormous.

Great Day

Great tour!

Our guide Saya was wonderful. Highly reccommend. Above and beyond the tour, she included information about the culture and navigating the city that will make the rest of our trip easier and more enjoyable. She is very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great time and appreciated the places she added in our loose requests that we wouldn’t have known to ask about. Absolutely a great choice to do this as an introductory tour on our first day in Tokyo!

Awesome guide!

I have to admit this has been the greatest walking tour I have had. Gabriel was flexible enough to accommodate my last minute booking and was kind enough to meet me at the airport which I appreciate. He took me to places where I can experience as a tourist as well as a local resident. I got to pray and do some shopping. I certainly will return. Highly recommended!
