Best Tour Guide & Tour! - Ken was the most amazing guide! First of all, he speaks English! He is patient and willing to modify the tour so that you can achieve what you are after. He explains the Japanese culture and any historical questions that you may have. This was the most enjoyable tour indeed! Do not miss!

Discover a famous neighborhood in an engaging and fun walk - We enjoyed learning temple etiquette at at Sensoji temple including the statues and giant rope shoes that ward off any evil spirits. Also walking through koishikawa Korakuen garden - one of the oldest gardens in Tokyo - a traditional strolling garden with beautiful water sculptures. Our guide Ken charming and good company. A very unique and rewarding insight into this part of Tokyo

Ancient to modern, good for first-timers - It was a good intro to Tokyo. We saw lots of very different things from modern to ancient, and learned the difference between a shrine and a temple. Our guide was very sweet but we were hoping they would be native Japanese. Some of the info we got was proven later to not be fully accurate. Very fun walking tour overall, however.
