Great guides and wonderful tour - The first day our guide Armad took very good care of us showing us Tokyo city. He took pictures of us and parked I convenient locations. The next three days we had David as a great guide. He went out of his way to show us unusual attractions: the musical road and hidden temple. He asked questions to get more information on the sites. At a very old tea house he requested the master tell us about the trail up the mountain and we heard a song showing the rhythm of carrying a heavy load up the mountain. This was a very enjoyable and educational tour.

Comfortable, Easy, and Enjoyable Trip - We enjoyed our tour with Sluzeb's team. We highly recommend them for people who wants to visit Tokyo, but has limited time, mobility, and just want to have an easy and enjoyable time in Tokyo. It's quite difficult to navigate trains/buses in Japan if you are a group with older adults/seniors Advantages: 1. Easy to contact thru Whatsapp and Email - All of our questions/requests were answered promptly. 2. Competitive Pricing - Price is competitive with other providers. It is expensive, but it is expected because Japan is expensive 3. Flexible Tours - The team made sure that we were pick up from our hotel at convenient times. Our daily tours/activities were properly timed and they were flexible enough that we can skip or add activities 4. Complimentary Water is provided 5. They made reservations for us as well as gave recommendations Shorux was our driver and he made us feel welcomed during our trip. Disadvantages - None. Honestly, we wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely contact them again for our future trips in Japan. Thank you Sluzeb!

You'll not regret it -   We had a wonderful trip and liked all of the stops in tokyo, fuji, kamakura, hakone and yokohama. In four days, we visited every attraction that we wanted to and even added a few more when time permitted. Our tour guide Deniz was really amazing. He shared information about the stops, explained the history and pointed out many interesting details and was an enthusiastic photographer, leaving us with lots of amazing pictures and short videos.

Incredible locations rich in history, amazing views, and highly intelligent tour guide - The last 3 days of the tour were incredible! We wouldn’t have had such an amazing experience without our tour guide and driver, Newton. Newton is very knowledgeable about the history of shrines and temples and shared with us so many unbelievable stories of the historic events that took place at each destination and was extremely helpful in providing suggestions on specific restaurants and locations to explore. My friends and I highly recommend this tour as well as Newton to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
