The Asakusa morning walking tour was great! - We took the Asakusa morning tour. Our guide Danni was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and our tour was a good mix of the religious temples and shrines as well as the shopping and restaurant areas. Danni made sure we stayed together in the more crowded areas and always found a shady spot for us to stand. I appreciated all the history of the area he gave us. We highly recommend this tour!

Informative and relaxed - After a slight confusion over the meeting location for this tour (the name of the shop in the joining instructions only has Japanese characters) we joined one other couple and guide Kim. The tour was informative and time was allowed for individuals to follow their own interests or to ask questions. We felt better informed about the various temples at the end which was our goal.

Not value for money! - Not value for money, temple is free and tour walk is rushed, tour guide was friendly and nice. It is just as easy to take yourself on this tour.
