Fantastic! Do not stop for lunch eat from the market stalls!
Excellent tour guide who spoke great English and the whole experience was organized and efficient.
A nice museum for learning about Tokyo before it was Tokyo (then called Edo). Lots of old household items, furniture, carriages, cultural works and the like make up the bulk of he exhibits. Also offering rotating special exhibitions, we saw some great wood block prints.
A great way to get introduced to Tokyo. The fish market was the highlight by far. The Edo museum was interesting, but by that time I think everyone on the tour was pretty exhausted so it was hard to take it all in. Our guide was very good at explaining what we were seeing, but I recommend reading a bit of Japanese history before going so you have a good context for the explanations.
The tour started at 9 and I thought we would start with the fish market even if it was not 5 a.m. But we only got there in the afternoon and didn't see much. The restaurant recommended was at our own cost but much too expensive. Yes, I know, it was the "golden week" !
I tremendously enjoyed this tour. We walked in the inner-outter markets and then we visited a shrine and temple, all within walking distance. It was a great tour.
The tour was excellent. Our tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable.
Our tour guide was wonderful -- very pleasant and knowledgeable. The group was small so we could see quite a bit and not get lost despite touring during the crowded national holiday period.
This was an excellent, informative tour, and our guide was brilliant.
If you love fish - fresh fish - you must visit the Tokyo Fish Market. Simply amazing. If you don't like fish, you really should stay away from this place.
Our guide was EXCELLENT! He did everything--and MORE--that I would expect from a guide. I really appreciated his experience and attention to detail.
The tour itself was lacking. Too much time to wander about on one's own. The fish market was a bore as we were only allowed in the retail section, so we never saw all the fish being sold other than boxes of it on pallets--and we'd only know that was fish by the marking on the exteriors! Why bother to take us there so that we could wander amongst the retail vendors of mostly dried fish stuff? Having lunch there was a chore too.
The Edo Museum is excellent, but a volunteer docent took us through. Our guide didn't have a thing to do. We could have taken a cab to the door and had the same experience!
Liked going up in the tall building for an overlook of the park and the Imperial Palace. A good place to start. The time spent walking about the garden was OK, but could have been condensed into a stop at the tea room and a little walk about, which should have included the 300-year-old pine and a stop at the gardens if in bloom.
Basically a $10 tour for $50. Sorry, but you asked for my thoughts!
