The whole day was so well organised, our tour guide Mandy knew exactly what to do and gave us the best experience. She also told us very interesting facts about each place and tricks and hints about what to do when we were there.

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!

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.
