Canada gives a thumbs up - Mian was a perfect driver/host. He let us take in the attractions at our own pace, and tailored the agenda to suit our needs. There’s so much to see in Tokyo, and he let us do it at our pace. When asked questions, he was very knowledgeable about the topic, and never asserted himself upon us. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick overview of the sights of Tokyo.

A wonderful day to remember. - A huge thank you to our driver Affan for the most incredible experience. Affan provided us with a wonderful service , he was punctual, respectful, polite and patient with my family. Using this service gave us the opportunity to visit many various destinations in any location around the city. Affan was a great guide and was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that we had and assisted us in any way possible. We would highly recommend this service to anyone interested in visiting as many locations as possible.

One of a Kind - Another unforgettable experience with the company that organizes these excursions . We feel privileged to be one of his last rides. He was so easy to talk to and fun to hang out with. Almost more fun than the sights themselves. Best of luck with what the future holds Kazi.

Birthday Trip in Tokyo - Could not have asked for a better tour. Our tour guide Mian was awesome. He directed us where to go and where to meet back up with him. He was so generous and took pictures for our group. He definitely went the extra mile to make sure our tour was memorable. Definitely choose this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Family friendly and fun - Jiro was very friendly and had local knowledge of all we went to see. He jumped out of the car and escorted us through the shine areas which was a really nice touch. He gave us room to explore when we were familiar with the areas. 10/10 would recommend.

Good but not great - Our first time in Tokyo and thought this would be a good way to see a lot on day one. Tokyo is huge, so having a driver seemed like the path of least resistance. We had a good time, but not a great time.
Everything is spread out so it takes a long time to get from A to B. Our favorite stop was the Fish Market. So much to experience and taste. The food we had there was fantastic.
We went to the Sendo-ji Temple, which was nice and VERY CROWDED.
He asked if we were ready for lunch and what we wanted. We said yes and Japanese. We walked to a shopping mall and he said try one of these. One was book your own, that was a no, do that left two. One was udon only and the other offered a variety per the driver. We selected variety and there was no variety, plus it was Chinese Food. And bad Chinese Food at that. They should have places to recommend that are charming and not dumps in a mall.
We drove a long way to get to the Sky Tree and it was a cloudy day, so we looked at it from the car. No sense to go up if you can’t see anything.
Then we headed to see Meiji Jingo Shrine, another long drive, and when we got there it had closed. A lot of wasted time in the car. We had no ideas where the best places were to go on this day tour and tied the the tour company.
Next we headed to Shibuya Crossing, which was something wanted to experience and walk across. Driver asked if we wanted to just drive through…. Ah no. So we got out and walked it, then we to Starbucks for the view. I’ve heard there are better places but our driver didn’t know. He did forget to tell us that the Hachikō Memorial Statue was right there! I understand he’s a driver and doesn’t “guide us” out of the car but he should know more.
We last stop per our request to finish the day. As I stated, it was a good day but with better planning on his part it would have been better.
Moral of the story, he did a fine job of driving but do not rely on the tour company to plan a good tour route and do the work yourself … which many times is why we hire a tour company.

Disappointed - We were disappointed with the overall tour experience. The driver Jun was not very talkative, and only offered up information when directly asked about a location or building we saw. We stopped in Odaiba to see the statue of liberty, and I asked if he could take us to see the Gundam statue which I had read was in Odaiba. Jun said that statue was no longer there, but there was one in Yokahama. I later found out that the one in Yokahama was the one that was removed, while the only one left was in fact in Odaiba. Also he later took us to visit the Imperial Palace, which was a complete waste of time since it was a holiday (Autumnal Equinox day) and all the entrances were closed. We wound up cutting the tour short.
