Review of Tokyo’s private six-hour tour with a licensed guide, flexible sightseeing, subway travel, local tips, costs, strengths, and drawbacks.
“Not worth the money. Nore than half the time doesn't in subways. No value add by the guide except showing the way. Hardly any information.”
A private four-hour Tokyo walking tour with a licensed English-speaking guide, flexible sights, local transport help, and practical city insight.
“We had a lovely afternoon with Julie, who helped us navigate the trains and find options to avoid long stairs, since we are older persons. We really enjoyed seeing beautiful gardens and drinking matcha in a tea house overlooking a lake!”
Compare Tokyo’s new Toyosu and old Tsukiji markets with a private licensed guide, local food tips, shrine visits, and practical market advice.
“This was a great walking tour and ability to see some key highlights of the markets. There’s not a lot of time to grab something to eat — but if you book early in the am it’s perfect to end the tour at the food court.”
Watch Tokyo’s tuna auction from Toyosu’s public gallery, then explore Tsukiji’s food stalls with a private English-speaking guide.
“Worth getting up early! Guide was fantastic (Katsu or Gorielo)- knowledgeable, funny, very engaging and got it in to see everything we could have wanted. Then ended up at the old fish market in time to walk around and eat before the crowds. Would recommend to everyone.”
