- Such a great way to start our Japan adventure! The tour gave us a great experience of the Asakusa temples, and we were taught of rituals, history, and the mythology throughout our time. It felt neither too long nor too short, and we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. On top of it our guide, Nicolas, was amazing! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he took time to answer our questions and made sure that we avoided the most crowded areas so we instead could get a more comfortable experience. Thank you so much! Would highly recommend this for everyone who wants to experience Asakusa :)

Best tour in tokyo - This was by far my favorite experience in Tokyo. Nikolai was very friendly and fun to hang out with, and he provided us with so much history and fun facts. He showed us all the main landmarks, plus some bonus, lesser known locations for a bit of quiet. It all made for an unforgettable experience.

Great tour with Joe - Great tour with Joe! You can see that he knows lots about the quartier and loves the culture. The way he talks makes the stories more interesting. And by policy of the company, they do only small groups giving the tour a private atmosphere. We recommend it!

Very good - The French guy was very knowledgeable and provided good service. His English is perfect with little accent. We enjoyed the whole process and learned a lot during the two hour tour while I could see other groups were not doing so well.
