Amazing Tour of Tokyo

Ted_D, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for the amazing tour of Tokyo! My wife and I had a fantastic time. The itinerary that our guide, Nobu, organized was spot-on for what we were hoping to see, and we really appreciated his help navigating and translating along the way.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you very much for your review. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed my tour. There are still many other attractive places in Tokyo, so please let me show you around the next time you come to Tokyo. I look forward to seeing you again. Nobu

Ultimate Tour for 1-Day in Tokyo

Rick_N, May 2025

Nobu was the perfect guide for us. With only a single day to explore Tokyo from our cruise ship, we hit all the major sights. Nobu was professional and engaging, providing great insights into Japanese history, religion, current economic conditions and challenges. Fabulous lunch at a local restaurant, and Nobu guided us expertly through the maze of subways connecting the various sights. Truly an amazing day, but for any non-walkers prepare for steps exceeding 25,000.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you very much for your review. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed my tour. I also appreciate your honest comments. The course on this day was for people with good stamina, so the walking distance was long, but there are also shorter courses available. (The course is customized to suit each guest.) I would be very happy to help visitors to Tokyo enjoy its best features. Nobu

Highly recommend this!

Christopher_G, Oct 2024

Nobu was flexible with where we wanted to go, very knowledgeable, and spoke good English. He made recommendations that we appreciated and taught us how to use the subway system throughout the day.

Having not been to Japan...

Gregory_R, Sep 2024

Having not been to Japan before, we signed up for this tour in hopes of seeing some Tokyo highlights and to get familiar with the public transportation system. While we accomplished those goals, our guide Nabu Sato was amazing and painted a picture of Tokyo and Japan that took our breath away. His command of Japanese history, sociology and economics combined with his willingness to offer his opinions gave us insights into Japan and its people that we would never have gotten on other “bus type” tours. We are walkers/hikers so the miles we walked were not problematic for us, but I am sure Mr. Sato tailors each trip for his client’s interest and abilities. Over the next two days we have traveled all over Tokyo with Suica card in hand, confident and ready to move on to Kyoto!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you very much for your review. I'm very happy to know that you fully enjoyed my tour. Tokyo is a city full of charm, but it's sometimes not an easy place for first-time visitors. I believe that if you spend your first day with a guide like me, you will be able to travel more efficiently and learn a lot. It is my great pleasure to make such visitors' stay in Tokyo even more enjoyable. Thank you again for having me as a guide. Nobu

Amazing Tour of Tokyo

Gavin_S, Mar 2024

We got to visit many parts of Tokyo at a very quick pace but it didn't feel rushed. Our guide was amazing and made the tour very memorable. Would highly recommend!

Great tour.

Jamie_F, Oct 2023

This was a fabulous tour. We saw so much of Tokyo and I learned a lot about the history of the city. But be prepared to walk - I logged 26,000 steps and took countless subway rides. The guide was wonderful. We found a fabulous place for lunch too.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you very much for your review. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. Yes, we walk a lot in this tour. Our guides take 25,000 steps as an average. The guests can enjoy a very healthy tour in Tokyo! Office Zipang
