Our passionate & knowledgable guide provided an excellent briefing that really added to our enjoyment of the sumo. The basho itself held our attention throughout. Highly recommended.

We had great weather, the guide Jack was always friendly and attentive to all the group and the questions that arose, very good tour and just enough time to do all the activities. Very complete tour, although there was not much time for lunch, it was fine. Highly recommended. Great guide Jack

Booked Tokyo Tower via Headout. Easy mobile tickets, smooth entry, great views. App is convenient, though changes or refunds aren’t very flexible.

We loved trying on the Samurai outfits and the ninja star throwing competition along with learning about the history of the samurais and the different classes below them.

It started from the booking that went super smoothly. The directions were very clear and on the day all staff were super friendly and helpful. The bus driver was delightful and the tour guide was just the right amount of everything! Just enough information, super interesting for both first time visitors and long term residents. The tour content was great since we only had half a day available in Tokyo! 4 hours well spent at the Imperial Palace garden, Tokyo tower and Asakusa!
