Excellent as a taste of Japan when arriving for the first time in the country. Meal was also very good and guide was amusing. An appropriate amount of time was spent at each venue although the visit to Tokyo Tower and the river trip wouldn't be much good in poor visibility!
The tour hit a lot of the main highlights and "tourist" attractions in Tokyo. However, I was disappointed in the fact that one of the couples was /thirty minutes/ late returning from Tokyo Tower and that penalized the rest of the tour group, cutting drastically short our visit to the Imperial Palace so that we did not have the opportunity to see the main photo-op view.
Overall trip is good and lunch was excellent. Wish there is an opportunity we can stop at a far enough distance to take a full picture of Tokyo Tower.
Okay tour. It was a cheap way to see some major spots. The tour guide was funny but the only places we actually went into were the Tokyo Tower and the market. Everything else was a pass-by show though.
I like tea ceremony the best. Tokyo Tower and River Cruise are worthwhile visit too.
The tour guide was excellent. The barbecue lunch was enchanting and different, we loved it. But the Tokyo tower trip was to short, therefore we had no time to go up to the top viewpoint where upon the view would have been more spectacular, I would have preferred to have paid more money and gone up to that floor.
We started out at the Tokyo tower, then went to the imperial palace, a drive through Ginza, a temple, and left at the electronics district. The tour guide did a great job of explaining what we were seeing and answering questions. The temple is a good place to pick up traditional souvenirs at prices slightly cheaper than available at the airport.
Nice trip, especially if you're short of time. The guide was excellent. I've lived in Tokyo for almost three years and she told me things about the city I didn't know. Lunch choice was great. Sumida River cruise wasn't much. You simply sit on a people barge with hundreds of your Japanese friends and ride up the river. Scenery on the river isn't much to look at. Tokyo tower was nice.
We enjoyed the guide and Tokyo Tower, but the trip to the market was too short and the trip to the Palace was too late, everything was closed. Not really worth while, we could easily do this alone without the bother of pickups and waiting at bus station. Perhaps an afternoon trip in the winter is not a good idea.
The tour itself gives a good insight to areas. Depending of time of year, I was there during the cherry blossom period it gets very congested at places, e.g. at Tokyo Tower where between queuing to get up and down, we had about 5 minutes to look at the view. Mr. Sato, who guided, had a great sense of humor and guided in an expert manner, with trivia as well as historical facts as we toured around. Well worth tour to take early in your travel!
Overall the trip was quite good, especially the tea ceremony and the lunch. However, the view from the Tokyo Tower wasn't exactly spectacular.
Great tour, well put together. I enjoyed going to Tokyo tower on my birthday!
A well planned trip which would have been much more enjoyable in better weather. We couldn't see a great deal from the Tokyo Tower because of mist, low cloud and poor visibility and the time spent in the Asakusa market district was pretty miserable in the cold and rain. Not the fault of Viator however, the trip did provide a good overview of Tokyo for us to go back and explore at our leisure.
Tokyo Tower was cool to see, but wish I could go to highest observation level. We only went to mid-level for viewing. Tea Ceremony was just OK. Not much info provided and could have used some traditional music to go with ceremony, but garden was really nice! The Sumida River Cruise was very boring. No one even took pictures cause there was nothing to see! No one paid attention during the cruise. Would have been better to go other direction near Odaiba. Lunch was very average, not filling or very tasty. However, the hotel and garden area were very nice. Tour guide was good and gave great insight on Japanese culture. Overall, this was an OK tour, but very professional and comfortable, and you do get to see a lot of Tokyo!
Good tour, takes in some top attractions! A beautiful garden where the tea ceremony is held this is where I proposed to my woman! Fantastic views from the Tokyo tower. Even after the tour was over, we were dropped back to our hotel by the tour company. Top service!
