I would especially like to highlight our guide Yang — she was very attentive, made funny jokes, and was great to listen to. The tour itself flew by, but it was highly engaging. Navigating this kind of itinerary on your own would be very difficult.

I visited Tokyo Tower with my 7-year-old son during our trip to Tokyo, and we went all the way up to the Top Deck at 250 meters. My son absolutely loved the experience and was so excited by the incredible views of Tokyo. Coming all the way from a small town in Michigan, USA, this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. If you are visiting Tokyo with children, I highly recommend going all the way to the Top Deck. It is absolutely worth the visit!

It was interesting to hear the history. Saw alot. The driver drove fast. The talk didn't always match what you saw. They had rain ponchos.

We had an absolutely amazing day exploring Nikko! The scenery was breathtaking, especially with the leaves starting to turn into beautiful autumn colors. 🍁 A special shoutout to our guide, Sarfy, who was simply outstanding! He recommended starting early and slightly adjusting our itinerary to avoid the crowds, and every suggestion was spot on! If you want an unforgettable day in Nikko filled with beautiful memories, I highly recommend requesting Sarfy as your guide!

This was a fun interactive experience with an excellent presentation by Rui. Lots of information given and good exhibits. Dressing as Samurai for pictures and throwing Ninja stars was fun.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Tokyo National Museum. The park is spacious, beautiful, and very well maintained, and the museum has an impressive collection of antiquities and historical artifacts. It was an enriching experience and well worth it.
