Interesting tour of a lively area - Paulina really knew her stuff and gave lots of interesting insights on the history of the Asakusa area, its Shinto & Buddhist temples, and of Tokyo as a whole. A super-busy area - be prepared!

A glimpse into Tokyos history - As the area is always busy having a guide is essential to fully understand the significance of the temples and shrines. Kenji was excellent at bringing this to life and comparing it with what you might find in Kyoto.

Dont recommend it - The guide didnt have appropriate equipment to be heard. It was busy and very difficult to hear. Not knowledgeable. Very mediocre information. We had to leave the tour early because it was not worth our time.
