David – United States

We had a long layover that started at NRT and finished at NRT which limited our ability to go too far. Fusako, our guide, met us at the airport bright and early, took us by train to Narita and packed our 4 hours with incredible local food tastings, history, participation in a tea ceremony, a visit to the temple and a sumptuous lunch of both udon and soba noodles, eel, shrimp, and vegetables. She was thorough, informative, and acutely aware of giving us the best, most authentic experience we could have in Japan in 4 hours time. And she made us feel like we were old friends. Highly recommend if you have a long layover.

We were extremely happy with the tour to help us use a long day at Narita airport. Communication was great throughout the booking process to the day of the tour and we were particularly impressed with the flexibility of our guide to extend the time of the tour after experiencing unexpected delays to the airport. The tour was very interesting and the guide very kind and informative. Nothing was too much trouble and we appreciated her help at the train station and ability to move at our slower pace and customise the itinerary to suit our needs. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone with extensive spare time to use at Narita airport.

Is a very good choice when you have layover or transit flight with at least at least 6hrs waiting time. It will give you a glance of Narita and enjoy some walking time. Just prepare wather and a hay during the Summer because is veru hot. Fusako my tour guide was very nice giving very good explanations of the town and local things. Thanks to her i enjoy very much the walking tour.
