Tour Reviews
Kervin was right on time, showed us a good time around Akihabara, thanks!
Such a fabulous day exploring! We wandered through Yanaka and surrounds, visiting temples and tasting local delights. Loved visiting the local businesses who had such great craftsmanship and skills. Great to see the quiet part of Tokyo and loved seeing life in the back streets.
The tour was amazing. We snacked on amazing food and visited shrines and temples.
Fuma was very friendly, easy to talk to and gave a great tour around some areas we wouldn't have known about otherwise!
This was perhaps one of the best tours I’ve been on. Completely devoid of the typical tourist traps and gave a taste of local life. No amount of googling would have allowed me to plan this route and some of the experiences I would never have thought of on my own. Walking through a temple full of gold Buddhas was not something I was expecting, but I will never forget. (Which is great since I wasn’t allowed to take photos). Highly recommended and I would gladly take this tour again the next time I visit Tokyo.
