“A good tour to get to know Ginza and Tsukiji”
Antonio was an excellent guide, he took us from the imperial palace to Tsukiji, passing through Ginza. Very cool, lots of interesting facts and history (he told us a lot about the Shogunate and the samurais). We highly recommend him!

“Interesting walk through the streets of tokyo”
We did it as the last tour to take advantage of the last morning we had, condensing what we had left to see. It is not a tour that will clarify many doubts about the history of the country but it is interesting to understand how the Japanese live. Regardless of the content of the tour, Sheila, who was our guide, was very nice and did her job very well

“Outstanding!”
Eric was incredible. We’ve done lots of walking tours between the family, and everyone was in agreement that this was one of the best. Eric’s knowledge of culture and history was broad and deep. He was thoroughly engaging and a really warm, friendly guide. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough.
