Tokyo Tour - We had a fantastic tour of Tokyo, and many thanks to our tour guide Seizo. He emailed me and we coordinated our itinerary with him well in advance, and we followed his recommendations, as well as added a few of our own ideas to come up with the perfect tour. His knowledge of Tokyo, as well as the mass transit system was commendable. He spoke great English and kept my wife and I entertained with numerous stories coupled with important historical facts. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Seizo as your guide.

Couldn’t ask for a better tour! - Our intelligent well spoken guide was waiting for us in the lobby 15 minutes ahead of time. She navigated 6 of us using at least 20 different trains to bring us to several highlights of Tokyo. She even brought us to a fabulous sushi restaurant in the old fish market tour.

Excellent tour - Experiencing the train and metro system as we visited beautiful shrines and city streets. In spite of constant rain we learned lots and had a great day.

Tokyo in a day - Ted was extremely well organized and well prepared. He compiled maps- a guide book and interesting history into a packet for us to keep. Showed us key highlights of the city while showing us how to use train and the metro. We quite enjoyed a very memorable day. Highly recommend Ted.

Tokyo stress free by guided experience - Our guide, Hiro Chikata was outstanding. As arranged he met us @ our Yokomana Hotel Guided to Tokyo thru the maze of trains & subways. The highlight of our trip was the "Sushi Bar" experience. 3 of us enjoyed very fresh sushi prepared on the counter by a master chef. All arranged by our guide Hiro. Then at end of our day we were guided back to the doorstep of our hotel. Very stressless way to experience our day

Amazing tour guide of Tokyo - Kei was my tour guide today. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of Tokyo and Japan. He is a world traveler who speaks very good English. We efficiently toured all over the city center and we're able to explore many of the most impressive landmarks and attractions. Going as a solo traveler it was a great way to discover Tokyo. He also gave me restaurant recommendations and travel help for my future adventures in Tokyo. I made a friend today! Would highly recommend.

Disappointing and Frustrating Experience with Unprofessional Guide - Our experience with Viator in Tokyo was nothing short of frustrating. We were told to meet our guide at a post office but were never given the exact address, leaving us to rely on Google Maps to find the location. Unfortunately, we ended up at the wrong post office, and when we contacted the guide, he was extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of offering help, he yelled at us, claiming we were wasting his time. This was especially distressing given that we were in a foreign country where we didn’t speak the language. After such an unpleasant interaction, we no longer felt comfortable spending the day with the guide. When we raised our concerns with Viator, we were shocked to only receive a 10% refund for what was supposed to be an 8-hour tour. This experience was not only aggravating but also deeply disappointing. I would advise others to be cautious when booking tours through Viator, especially in places where clear communication and professionalism are critical.
