“Get a Lic guide tour - First time in Japan and only had a day to spend in Tokyo before our cruise. Decided the best way to see the city was thru a private lic tour guide instead of wasting valuable time navigating the city ourselves. Best decision we ever made. Andy our tour guide was excellent. Andy was fluent in English and Japanese. He contacted us days before the tour with ideas on what we can see and then cater the tour to our preferences. On the day of the tour, he met us at our hotel and was there with us for a good solid 8 hours. He exposed us to the Tokyo transit system ( we would have been lost without him), saw many sites like Imperial palace , Tokyo Tower, Temples etc. Too many sites to mention. Andy provided us great background information on the history and customs of Japan and on the sites we visited. Had a great Japanese style lunch and got some shopping in. Overall we condensed a lot into 8 hours of touring with no wasted time getting lost if we had tour ourselves. Thank you to Andy for being such a great guide.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-19
