An enjoyable and comfortable day in Tokto - Maheer was a great driver and guide as he ferried us all around Tokyo. We really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the skyscrapers up against traditional Japan.

Anime, Manga, Gundam heaven - We were a family of four with two teenagers who love anime, manga and gundam. Our tour guide was Shoko and we met her at Akihabara station. It was our second day in Japan and haven’t learned the public transportation yet but it was easy enough to take a cab there. Shoko was amazing! Full of smiles and energy which is just what was needed while two teenagers were overloaded with all that there was to see. Great tour. Definitely recommend.

Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. - I recently took my first trip to Tokyo and stayed in Akihabara. I can't praise them enough! I booked this tour for the 23rd, received a prompt reply and they even started answering questions before the tour date. During the tour, they were very great at conversation, enough to pull an introvert such as me out of my shell, helped me find specific figured from a specific anime that aired years ago, and it only got better from there. Their ability to ask a few simple questions and plan a four-hour tour that was interesting, fun, and exciting the entire time speaks wonders, and the next time I visit, I will definitely hire again! I can't wait to pick up where we left off and see more of what the area has to offer. Thanks for a great time!

Amazing Akihabara - My husband and I are big fans of anime and Japanese culture. Thus we knew that we wanted to explore Akihabara. It can be pretty overwhelming for a first timer so having a personalized guide was incredibly helpful! I tend to do larger group tours but having a private guide to show us the ins and outs was amazing. Jordyn was knowledgeable, engaging and she provided us with a lot of insight and guidance. It was wonderful exploring through the eyes of a local. I loved that the tour company sent us questions prior to our tour to help guide our experience while also including their recommendations. We were able to take what we learned from the experience with us when we returned on our own to explore. I’d highly recommend this tour as well as any other of the City Unscripted tours as having a local guide really helps to navigate this wonderful country.

Manga, Maids and Tokyo 2020! - Leo is the perfect guide for this Otaku culture tour. I sent him information ahead of time about what I was interested in, and he customized an itinerary that went way beyond my expectations. He took me through several of the top nerd sites in both Akhihabara and Harajuku. He also provided cultural and historical explanations throughout the tour. If you're interested in learning more about Japanese quirky, pop culture, then this is the tour for you. Be sure to request Leo as your guide!

Jordyn is a star! - It’s as If a good friend took you around town.
Jordyn speaks perfect Japanese, English and French, knows a lot of fun places to go and
Will go out of her way to make this a truly memorable experience! Fun and easy to talk to and
will make you feel welcome in Tokyo even if you don’t speak a word of Japanese.

Waste of time - This company doesn’t know a thing about Otaku culture and they further insulted us by claiming to send a guide that knew something but she admitted she did not. They just take you to stores and the company cannot even help their guides with a list of shops and what they carry. May as well use google rather than waste your money on this British company that doesn’t care if they ruin your vacation. I even asked them for a refund before we took this tour and they assured me the guide knew about anime. All they will do is walk you to a store and ask you a bunch of questions to try to sell another tour.
