    Had a great day with Mike. Had an 11 hour layover in Narita and booked this last minute. We were thankful that Mike picked up the trip. He was so friendly and helpful. He came to the airport and got us, helped us find storage for our bags, and got us on the train to downtown. He took us to the Naritasan Shinsho-ji temple. We walked around the gardens and watched the priests do the Ogoma fire prayer. Then he took us for an authentic Japanese lunch. Then we strolled around the shops. We had eel, matcha, sake, and Taiyaki. It was a good day.

    Henry was very thorough and relaxed. Easy to talk to and very accommodating. The Temple grounds were lovely and we were very happy to get out of the airport and stretch our legs. He showed us great local food and some local handicrafts. If you have 6 hours or more layover I recommend Henry. It’s always so nice to spend time with a local guide.

    Highly recommend this tour if you have a decent layover in Narita and want a quick visit! This was my first time visiting Japan, so wanted to take advantage of a long layover. Our flight ended up being delayed by several hours, but the company and our guide Mako were so helpful and accommodating - we were able to do a shortened tour of the major sights and still get back to the airport with plenty of time. Our guide Mako was so thoughtful in organizing our short time to maximize what we got to see and do, and she was very patient waiting for all our photo-taking. I would love to come back to spend more time in Narita! Overall, highly recommend this layover tour and our guide Mako!
