    Highly recommended we thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour enabled us to quickly see very interesting and amazing places in our very short time in Tokyo, Our tour guide was Masaki, great fun to be with and gave us fun questions to occupy our time travelling from one place to another. His knowledge of the places we saw was excellent - information we otherwise would not have known. It was just the two of us, so we had a very personalised time with him, which felt that we were with a good friend rather than a guide. Viator was super efficient and quick on correspondence and Masaki a credit to them. Thank you Masaki!

    We just had a great tour with Masaki! He was super knowledgeable about the city, Shrines, Temples, Tokyo and the culture and its people. But we chatted about so much more and he gave us a genuine peek into the Japanese family, traditions, superstitions, food, trends, sports, education system, etc. He had train passes, maps and visual aides, and treats to sample. He was the highlight of our time in Tokyo! I highly recommend.

    Our tour guide Makdai-san was excellent, not only showing us the sites but providing a great perspective on Japanese life, culture and history - why things are the way they are and how they’re changing. He even encouraged us to be ‘locals’ and go into a photo booth in Harujuku. He kept everyone in our family interested and entertained. It was great tour to start our visit to Tokyo and would highly recommend it.

    We had a great day with Masaki! It was raining very hard but Masaki kept a positive attitude and we pushed through having lots of fun and great conversation. Masaki was very informative and kept things fresh by showing us a modern perspective of Japan today. We visited the Meiji shrine and other traditional spots, but Masaki went out of his way for us to understand the modern culture in Japan. For this he prepared lots of fun surprises. Do not hesitate to book this tour on your first day in Tokyo!!!! Perfect start to a Tokyo trip.
