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.

Amazing tour through Asakusa - We had a great tour through Asakusa with Nico. Nico was very knowledgeable and because we had a small group , Nico very kindly took us to a few extra spots which was amazing. The tour was at a great pace, and he was able to give us a few local recommendations for after the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Nikolai is the best! - Nikolai is a friendly man. Not tied to a script but very spontaneous tour guide. He taught us a lot about the history and customs of Japanese culture.
He answered our questions with great enthusiasm.
We enjoyed it and therefore definitely recommend this tour.

Awesome tour - We walked with a fantastic young man from the UK going a gap year in Japan. Despite not being a local he was extremely knowledgeable & in amongst the hustle & bustle he provided us with a wonderful tour.

An amazing, informative tour! - Our guide, Arief, was able to provide us with a detailed history of Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine whilst keeping the tour personalised and enjoyable by taking us to great viewing spots away from the crowds, as well as giving us tips and tricks for our stay! Such as the best places for food, where to view the Sakura, and much more! Would highly recommend this tour!

Great tour with a fantastic guide - I booked this tour quite last minute and I'm so pleased I did! The guide was fabulous, making the tour enjoyable with his explanations and nuggets of information. It felt like quite a personalised tour, with lots of photo opportunities and chances to talk about Tokyo life.
