Sam was lovely to chat to, it felt like I was going out for a walk with my friend. She tailored the tour to my specific needs- she reached out to me before the tour to find out what I’d like to do. Sam picked me up from my hotel and dropped me off there too. As the trip was a private tour, this meant I didn’t have to find my own way and made me feel more at ease.

Kei was a fantastic guide, giving lots of insight into Tokyo culture, old and new. We covered so many sights in the 6hrs. Can recommend the tour as a great starting point for your stay in Tokyo.

On the day of the tour, your guide will meet you at your hotel to begin your full-day tour. Using either public transport or walking to get around, why not start your day with a visit to Asakusa to see the famous Senso-Ji Temple.

Then, maybe, spend your afternoon at the Meiji Jingu Shrine forest, between the busy neighborhoods of Shibuya and Shinjuku.
