We had a great tour with Izumi. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to our group of 4 adults and 2 Children. We got to see the highlights of Tokyo and got offered good advice on how to navigate the city.

Steve was a wonderful tour guide - he was constantly telling us about the history of the places we were visiting and answering all of our questions. Steve never hesitated to take a picture for us and never rushed us to the next location - everything went at our pace, which was amazing! We learned so much about Tokyo and, importantly, how to navigate the public transit system. We highly recommend taking this tour during your first day in Tokyo since it gives you a good sense of the city.
