Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have time constraints. Great way to familiarise yourself to Tokyo and its beautiful sights. The tea ceremony was a great introduction to the Japanese culture, and its surroundings were tranquil amidst the hustle & bustle of a big city.

First of all, our guide was amazing; he was funny and down to earth and gave a great informative overview. The only problem that we encountered was time. We seemed to be too rushed. Half an hour at the Tokyo Tower was not enough, as well as the visit to the Imperial Palace. But the tea ceremony was wonderful, and the lunch was very relaxed and highly enjoyed! An hour at the shopping and temple just after the Sumida river cruise would have been less rushed, but I still immensely enjoyed this tour, and I do realize that travel time to each destination depends on traffic, therefore altering the time at each site. Thank you to our wonderful guide!!

The guide was extremely funny. Although the commutes between different areas were long, she talked with us passengers the entire time - history, culture, jokes. Factoring in the cost of travel, this set of things could not be done on one's own for much cheaper. Overall, I was very happy with it.

Overall, good. I think a little more time at the last stop would have been nice.

As we had a very short time in Tokyo, we thought that this tour would provide a good overview of the city and culture. We were not disappointed. The guide was very good and spoke excellent English. We were a little rushed at times, but I guess that is to be expected. The trip to Tokyo Tower was interesting. The BBQ lunch had to be the highlight. BBQ is really an understatement for the meal that is prepared for you personally at your table. The location, I believe the Four Seasons Hotel, was terrific. If you have a short period of time in Tokyo and would like a good tour, I would highly recommend this one.

If you want to experience the old and new Japan on a limited time/stopover this was a great tour.

Worth the money, except for the walk through the temple area which was too packed with people and not enough time to shop.

The guide was knowledgeable and courteous but for this trip I think the group was too large and time too rushed. However, we did accomplish everything the trip advertised. Lunch was excellent and met many people from all over the world on this trip.

A good overview of the city plenty of time to see all the stops. Very knowledgeable tour guide, we would never have seen all these things on our own.

It's good, but you have a little time in Tokyo Tower and Senso Ji Shrine.
