Brilliant tour - couldn't recommend more highly! - This was such a fabulous tour, showing us a side of Tokyo we never would have seen otherwise, with a witty and knowledgeable guide, Taka, who understood what we wanted to know and see, and explained so many things that will stand us in great stead for the rest of our time in Japan. So grateful we chose this tour early on, as it was such a good way of understanding a very different and intriguing culture.

A thorough tour through historical Tokyo, ending by the more modern - Shizuko was a great guide. Her style is clear and interesting. We kept a great pace, even stopping for pictures, many of them taken by her. We really enjoyed everything covered by the tour.

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!

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.
