Veronica_K, June 2023

Umer was wonderful! I’m so glad we did this tour. The van for our party of 7 was so comfortable and air conditioned.

Recommended!

Sabarinath_N, June 2023

Courteous driver who was very familiar with the roads/routes. Very spacious and comfortable Van. Covered all the must sites in Tokyo.

Fun day tour of Tokyo!

Stacey_Y, June 2023

Booking this trip was incredibly easy and I appreciated the constant communication. I traveled with a group of 12, which included older family members and teenagers. This was a great way for everyone to experience a day trip to Tokyo and there was something for everyone to do. We had such a great time and our driver, Deo, was wonderful! Deo is really friendly and so pleasant to be around, so we were happy that he accepted our invitation to have lunch with our group. We were even lucky enough to run into him again on another trip to Mt. Fuji. Thank you so much for making our family trip even more memorable!

Maria_B, May 2023

Aneese is the best! He was not just our tourist guide but he became my father’s friend. My father loves stories and Aneese talked to him and stayed with him when he stayed in the van. He assisted my father when he walked slow and was very patient with all of us. He catered to our needs and was a great and safe driver. He is highly recommended! We will use this company again. Thank you!

Personalized Trip with Private guide and driver

ChingChing_C, May 2023

This day trip is very flexible and customized to our requests! Our guide is very friendly and good. For a first time visitor to Tokyo , having a personalized guide who can point out the famous sites and locations is useful so we dont waste our time trying to find the locations. The overall trip was good and highly recommended for 1st time visitor. We were traveling with 2 elderly ladies in their late 70s. Having a guide / driver who can help us is very helpful! Really appreciate everything! Thank you!

Wouldn’t reccomend

Eleftherios_D, May 2023

Wouldn’t recommend because the driver took us some photos during the day and then probably (because we informed that in the Japan culture you don’t tip and we didn’t) they said the photos were destroyed and he wasn’t coming back to us and he had to raise a complaint and then they got back to is that they manage to recover 4 only !!!

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Eleftherios san, We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your tour experience. We appreciate your feedback and we would like to address some of the issues you raised. First of all, we would like to assure you that our tour was conducted as per standard and in accordance with the itinerary and description on our website. We strive to provide our customers with the best possible service and quality, and we do not compromise on any aspect of our tours. Secondly, we apologize that you did not receive all the photos that the driver-guide took during the day. However, we would like to clarify that this had nothing to do with you not offering a tip to the driver-guide. Tipping is optional and not expected in Japan, and we respect our customers’ choice whether to tip or not. The driver-guide did not withhold or destroy any photos because of this reason. The reason why some photos were lost was due to a technical error in the camera’s memory card, which was beyond our control. We tried our best to recover as many photos as possible and we sent you four photos that we managed to salvage. We regret that we could not retrieve more photos for you, but we hope that you still have some good memories of your tour. It is a little disappointing that although you had enjoyed the full day tour, due to a small technical mishap (which is not our responsibility in the first place - taking photos is a gesture we offer) you have rated it 1 star. Especially since your holiday photos are ultimately your responsibility unless you have hired a professional photographer. We would also like to confirm that you had taken plenty of photos on your own devices too. We value your business and we hope that you will give us another chance to serve you better in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Sam (General Manager)

Great day!

Angela_D, May 2023

The company was very accommodating and showed us everything we wanted to see. They also took us to a great sushi spot for lunch in the fish market. Great day. The driver was Mark.

Great Tour

Jessica_M, May 2023

A great way to see the city. We hit all the major spots. Driving was wonderful so was the customer service. It was a perfect day.

Tokyo in One day

Ratnam_R, May 2023

Anees our driver/guide for our group for Tokyo one day private tour. Anees is very knowledgeable about Tokyo, he is very focused that within the time we see all attractions, yes we are very lucky that he has showed us all major attractions. Anees is very flexible, accommodating and became part of the group. Certainly we recommend him for any future tourists.

Excellent

cookeelizabeth, May 2023

Excellent tour, great driver and so easy to get around Tokyo and see all that we wanted to see. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see everything on one day with as little hassle as possible. It is possible

Great overview of Tokyo

Rhodora_S, May 2023

Collen was a great guide giving us a good view of Tokyo. We visited many sites historical and modern and made several observations of the culture. I would definitely recommend Collen as a driver and would recommend our experience for others.

Do not miss It!

ALEJANDRO_M, May 2023

Mark was great. He even fixed my cel !! We changed the schedule and visited the University of Tokyo upon my request

Mark was awesome!

John_W, May 2023

Our tour guide Mark was awesome! Hes a legend! He’s a very sweet guy who was very patient and accomodating with us (we were travelling with my 88 year old mother in law) and fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Mark!

Our personal chauffer in Tokyo

Bruce_O, May 2023

Interesting Tokyo

Mark_F, Apr 2023

Our guide Mark was knowledgeable speaking English and Japanese and accompanied my wife and I on the visits to traditional Tokyo fish market, Meiji shrine and other key sites around Tokyo.

Adventures in Tokyo

Michael_S, Apr 2023

Really did not know what to expect on our day tour of Tokyo….however Umer, our guide and driver provided a memorable experience. He choose sites with a diversity of cultures and timelines. He was extremely courteous and patient and accommodated our request without hesitation. Umer went out of his way to tailor the experience for my college grandson and assisted us with our travel issues above and beyond our expectation. He not only made our day enjoyable but his assistance has made the rest of our vacation much more accommodating.

Couldn’t be better!! Million times thank you Umer!!

Grace_C, Apr 2023

Couldn’t be better! Umer , our tour guide as well as driver was very professional and considerate! Our family have had memorable experiences in Tokyo thanks to Umer!! We’ll contact his company for next trip again . His English is perfect and drives very well! I would strongly recommend to my friends and other family members!

Not a tour

Lynne_L, Apr 2023

The only reason I scored this average is that it's not a tour. Basically, you get a driver to take you to the most popular Tokyo sights. There is no tour aspect to it because unfortunately our driver was not particularly knowledgeable about Tokyo/Japan. I would recommend it, however, as we got to see all the sights we wanted to see without having to share the vehicle with other people.

Umer our driver/guide

ROLANDO_B, Apr 2023

Exceptional service . Always on time and very patient. I would recommend Umer to my friends. He speaks Japanese so he is able to communicate for us.

Very very good tour!

Ashley_D, Apr 2023

Mark our tour guide was very informative and friendly. He took us to alot of places and i loved the kaiten sushi he brought us to for lunch! Mark drove safely and he was able to answer any questions we had. Me and my family truly enjoyed this day tour and would 100% recommend!
