Great Tokyo Tour - Danish was a great driver and good tour guide. He knew many things about the history in all the places we visited. He made suggestions that made our trip better! Thanks so much.

You could do it on your own but Adeel made it better! - We were in Tokyo during a few rainy days. Booked this tour as a way to still see all the sites while minimizing travel time. Adeel was excellent! He had a set plan of places to go while allowing the flexibility and ensuring we got to see everything we wanted. Also, he knew all the tips and tricks to minimize waits, walks, and the best photo locations. I would highly recommend this tour with Adeel. He was genuinely nice and concerned about ensuring we had a great experience.

Rainy day in Tokyo - Danish was a great guide despite the rainy day! He was very helpful in guiding us and keeping us going and a couple of great places to eat besides the sites we were able to visit.

Amazing tour in the city of tokyo. - This trip is essential. We booked this tour just one day in advance, and most options were already full. Finding a large van for our group of 13 was quite a challenge. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this tour and booked immediately. They promptly replied, explaining that the 14-seater vans were all taken, but kindly offered two vans – one with 9 seats and another with 5 – at no additional cost. The tour was fantastic, and Danish, our driver, was not only excellent at navigating but also fluent in English, which helped immensely. Although not officially our guide, he shared the history of each place we visited and offered guidance on how to reach them. He was flexible with our schedule, allowing us to modify the itinerary and even extend the tour by one hour to include another location. Danish really looked after us, making for an unforgettable experience.

Wonder Tokyo - We had Hassan as our driver, he showed us around Tokyo. I gave it a 4 because we had done 3 of the things on the day trip tour. Over all with was great, I would recommend it specifically if you are visiting for the first time.

A customized full day - Our driver and guide, Adeel, picked us up from our hotel right on time. Initially, we were confused as we opted to "hire" a guide for an additional $10k yen and were expecting two people, a driver and a guide. So I deducted 1 star only because I felt the company advertises for an English speaking driver but makes you think you also need a guide. HOWEVER, the guide/driver, Adeel, himself was a treasure. He was kind, courteous and knew his way around the huge metropolis that is Tokyo. My cousin and I are in our late 60s with mobility issues. Adeel made sure we got to see and do everything on our agenda and treated us like we were his grandmother's.

A Big Let-Down - We contracted an English Speaking driver and paid an extra US$100 for an English speaking tour guide. The driver was late for more than 20 minutes and the tour guide was not with him. When questioned, the tour operator said the dirver was also the guide which was incorrect. The money for the tour guide was not charge after some discussion but not having a guide changed the whole dynamics of our tour. The driver did speak english and was very courteous but we could hardly hear him and when he arrived at each location he would park and would only point where we needed to go.
