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.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about both the palace gardens and Japanese history and culture. As a Canadian, he was able to explain aspects of Japan that are different than North America. He was also incredibly helpful with assisting tour participants with planning how to get to their their next destination. I highly recommend him!

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.

We had a wonderful day with our guide, Jack! He was very attentive to everyone and clearly explained each part of the day’s itinerary. Jack was also great at answering all our questions.
He’s a really pleasant guide.
The tour went smoothly, and we saw so much in just one day.
