Tour Reviews
Rose explained the history and culture in an engaging and easy-to-understand way and the tour overall felt relaxed, personal, and never rushed. Definitely recommended to anyone who wants an informative tour that feels friendly, fun, and memorable.
The tour was very easy to follow and he explained all the sights along the way
Amir was very personable and very knowledgeable. Had a wonderful time learning about Asakusa.
Asakusa was a very interesting tour focusing on a district that is on the traditional side of Tokyo with the very remarkable Senso-ji temple, the market places around and the multi-story high pagoda. There is a lesser known but equally or more important second temple around that could be included in the tour. This tour perfectly complements any other trips to the more modern but less traditional districts of Tokyo.
El tour estuvo muy bueno! Era exactamente lo que estaba buscando para mi primer día en Tokyo. El guía Marc me explico todo muy bien; la ciudad, la cultura y recomendaciones.
