Amazing tour that hits the highlights which was great for my son and I since we only had a short trip. The only downside was the long drive, which is unavoidable. Tourguides are amazing and theubstrike just the right balance of information.

What a fantastic way to see the beautiful Tokyo sights when time is limited. The commentary is superb and full of both location information on key places and historical information. Our own personal guide from an elevated position. Ample opportunities to stop and enjoy each stop.

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.
