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.

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.

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.
