Informative and Enjoyable Walk Through Asakusa - Polina was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour was well-paced and covered key sights like Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine. It was helpful to have context and historical background while exploring the area. A solid introduction to Asakusa for first-time visitors.

Wonderful tour in interesting part of the city. Must see for tourists - Great introduction to Old Quarter history, modern culture and lots of fun little shops and food options. Our tour guide Paulina gave us lots of interesting facts and a chance to explore a bit on our own and then ask more questions. This was my first trip to Tokyo and I was traveling alone. The tour was a wonderful way to start. Paulina also gave me nice recommendations for other places to visit based on my interests.

Aya is the Best - Aya was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and attentive guide who truly brought the temple and neighborhood to life. It was a phenomenal start to our weeklong stint in Tokyo. I would highly recommend this tour to any first time visitors to the area, and know if Aya is your guide you’ll be in excellent hands.

Great and Engaging Tour - The tour was very informative. I love all the sites we went to because it gave me inspiration on what to do in this area! I loved learning more about the Sensō-ji Temple and actually doing the many interactive things there including praying or blowing incense smoke onto ourselves. This tour is also perfect for solo travelers or big groups such as study abroad! Would recommend this tour to others!

Choose Miyu for Asakusa tour! - Miyu showed my group around Asakusa in Tokyo. She is very funny and engaging, as well as knowledgeable in the history of the prefecture. We were shown customs of temples and shrines and taken to see a view of the Skytree and Asahi Sculpture. It was so fun, I would recommend to anyone!
