We booked the 8 hour Walking Tour as we thought it would be the best way to get to see the top attractions in Tokyo. What we got was a whole lot more. Any questions before the tour was answered promptly and in a friendly and professional manner.
Our guide was polite, informative and very professional. We were able to taylor the tour with places that we were interested in, with impromptu stops along the way. We also learnt how to navigate the Metro.
The tour was more like going for a walk with a new friend. We highly recommend these tours.
