Tokyo 1 Day Tour to Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, Sumida River Cruise, and Asakusa

Really an eye-opener

Reviewed by: Kjell, 2017/05/14

The Grand Tour of Tokyo Highlights gives you insight into the historical background of what Tokyo is, the shoguns and the emperors and the cultural achievements of that period, as well as an understanding of what Tokyo is today, a 36 million capital, surprisingly well functioning and hugely impressive.

  • Old culture and modern development

Tokyo 1-Day Bus Tour with Tokyo Skytree & Tokyo Bay Cruise

Amazing Tokyo tour made fascinating by Veltra

Reviewed by: Rajashree Sonde, 2017/05/09

We have been traveling in Japan for last seven days beginning our tour to Odavara and Hakone mountain trail followed by visit to Kyoto and then to Yokahama and finally to Tokyo. Wanting to get most value of the limited time available at our disposal, we have been exploring options at every place that we visited in Japan and Veltra's one day tour around Tokyo turned out to be the best choice that we did in Tokyo. The tour covers most important places from Imperial palace, Akasuka temple area, fish market and Odiaba cruise with nice lunch included in the itinaray and return journey taking you through all the other interesting places with option to get off for self exploration. Thus covered entire city with good time given at every place for you to absorb the place. Fish market was a surprise in the package and the crab meat turned out to be the best crab we have ever tasted. Do not miss this..

Thank you Sylva again for choosing me out of many and for your kind comment. It is such an nice idea to travel with relatives especially when you are not so close to each other.
I hope you enjoyed the lunch as it still is a memorable dish for me, definitely one of the best place that I've tried so far, and I really enjoyed men's talk with your husband.

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour with Narita Airport Transfer

First time in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Liza Maria, 2017/04/22

We just arrived from a fun filled experience tour in Tokyo. Our pickup transfer driver/guide arrived on time but unfortunately we got lost in locating the exact meeting area because of the wrong map that was given by the agency. Through the help of a Filipina working at Narita airport we were able to contact our guide. Inspite of the rain, our guide Taji still managed to bring us to Meguro River with full bloom cherry blossom trees and to the (secret) as described by our guide long stretch of cherry blossom trèes not popular to tourists.He also recommended an authentic and tasty ramen for our group to try. Thank you Taji for the wonderful experience!

Tokyo 1-Day Bus Tour to Meiji Shrine, Asakusa & Odaiba with Tokyo Bay Cruise

A great way to start our trip!

Reviewed by: Belinda, 2017/04/17

We chose this trip for our first full day in Tokyo. It was a great way to get acquainted with the different parts of the city. Our guide Kaori, or 'Curry' to some, was knowledgable and friendly. Her english was exceptional. Highlights were the Meiji Shrine, Imperial Garden, Asakusa, and the traditional Japanese dance in Ginza as we have never seen anything like it before. Overall i would highly recommend this tour.

Tokyo 1-Day Private Tour by Local Guide with Customizable Itinerary

Great fun in Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Derek Edmonds, 2016/12/13

We enjoyed a second wonderful day on our visit to Japan with our guide Taiji. After a very long day visiting Mt. Fuji, we embarked on a city tour of Tokyo by planning a more leisurely pace. Starting the day by introducing Taiji to his first "Costco experience" was a fun and relaxing way to wind down from the previous day, then we quickly got back into busy mode for the rest of the day until dinnertime. Taiji adjusted quickly on the fly to our fickle plans but managed to combine great food, sightseeing, and shopping into one full and memorable day, including extra trips back to our place to drop off some of our shopping bags! Thank you so much again for showing us a great time in Tokyo, Taiji. We will certainly be back soon!

Thank you so much. It was a great pleasure, fun and experience for me too, especially Costco as you say, to have you too and I really hope to see you again in the near future.

Tokyo Private Tour to Tsukiji Fish Market, Asakusa & Meiji Shrine

Excellent Tokyo City Tour

Reviewed by: Mina Patel, 2016/11/03

Our guide was patient, friendly, informative, and very eager to show us the wonderful city of Tokyo. We had a custom itinerary, and she took us to each place and explained many things we would not have known on our own. The company even allowed us to choose our own restaurant because we have special dietary restrictions. The guide used public transportation, and helped us to familiarize with it. Very satisfied with the tour, all 6 people really enjoyed it!

Tokyo Morning Bus Tour to Meiji Shrine, Imperial Palace, and Sensoji Temple

Reviewed by: Bianca, 2016/09/16

Tomoko was our guide, she was amazing! Informative, chatty, fun and very friendly. She most definitely deserves an A+ review. We visited all sites listed along with a tourist centre in Ginza. The attractions we went to were beautiful and we had just enough time in each to get a feel for them. I would definitely recommend staying at the Sensoji Temple, or visiting at a later date because the markets there were great.

Above all, the 5 of us who travelled and went on this tour together would recommend for anyone visiting Tokyo to go along, it's informative, fun and is a great starting tour.

Tokyo Half-Day Small Group Bike Tour from Toranomon Hills

Fun! Fun! Fun! We enjoyed every kilometer!

Reviewed by: Rose, 2016/08/31

The bike tour was amazing! We really loved exploring the various parts of East Tokyo on our bikes. It's a great way to experience Tokyo from a different point of view and to explore the nooks and crannies of the city that cannot be found on most tourist maps. The bikes were easy to handle and our guide Hiro made sure that our safety gear and seats were properly fitted before we began our adventure. The route was challenging but not too intimidating, which is saying a lot considering that both of us hadn't been on a bike in YEARS! Despite our inexperience, we were able to accomplish the tour with Hiro's help and guidance.

This tour might not be the best for beginners who have just recently learned how to ride a bike as the roads and crowds are sometimes challenging to navigate through and around. We kept quite a speedy pace, possibly because there were just two of us on our tour, but we managed to keep up and enjoyed the experience immensely.

We absolutely loved the picnic in the Imperial Palace Garden. Hiro went above and beyond with the food he prepared. It was delicious and filling and a welcome break before we set off on the final leg.

Hiro, though not fluent, speaks good English and demonstrates a great knowledge about all the places that we visited. He even prepared some visual aides to help us appreciate the history of Tokyo. And he also took pictures of us while we rode our bikes so we didn't have to worry about documenting our tour as we enjoyed the day.

Not sure if it is just because we had not ridden a bike in a while, but towards the end you will really start to feel the strain on your bum. A bit more padding, or seats specially designed for females might be nice.

Scheduling our tour on a weekend was great because there was less vehicular traffic on the roads, however, on Sundays, lots of places are closed and we missed out on some places on the tour itinerary. Other than that, we have no complaints.

Would highly recommend this tour!

Tokyo Half-Day Small Group Bike Tour from Toranomon Hills

Fun for Tokyo residents too!

Reviewed by: Anna, 2016/08/19

I'm a Tokyo resident but since the expiration date of my points was approaching, I decided to join a fun tour in Tokyo and chose this one. You can't really ride a bike in the heart of the city so it looked fun! The day of the tour we met up at Toranomon Hills. We learned how to ride the bikes and headed for the road.

Until we reached Hibiya Park, I was still getting used the bike while we rode, and at the park, I adjusted the height of my seat etc. After that, we followed this route:

The Imperial Palace, Tokyo Station, Hibiya, Ginza, Tsukiji Fish Market, Kachidokibashi, Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Toyosu, Toyosu Market, Odaiba, (the water bus), Hinode Pier, Hamamatsu-cho, Zojo-ji Temple, tea at Shiba Park, Atago, Toranomon Hills.

Our guide knew so many interesting things about places like the Imperial Palace, Tsukiji Fish Market (and many more) which made it a great sightseeing bike tour. We dropped by places that you can't reach by train and on foot. I fully enjoyed both Edo and Tokyo. Of course, I had fun cycling too. It's pretty thrilling to cross the intersection on a bike at Ginza 4-chome! We spent a great time on the water bus right at sunset.

It was a fun tour even for people like me (I did feel a little sore) who don't normally ride bikes!

Tokyo Half-Day Small Group Bike Tour from Toranomon Hills

Loved the Instructor!

Reviewed by: MAI, 2016/08/19

I had 3 days off in a row and was planning a bus tour through other travels websites, but I couldn't find anything good. I decided to search on Veltra since I used them for a trip abroad and happened upon this tour!! I wanted to go cycling beforehand, so I quickly reserved a spot. I was glad that I could reserve it the day before, and after I did, I quickly got a reply from the instructor.

On the day of, there were only two of us participating, so I was a little anxious, but we were shown around the private parking area of Toranomon Hills and were told we could ride fashionable GIOS bikes so it was really exciting. I wanted to go outside and cycle as soon as possible. They provided helmets, gloves and water and also looked after our hand luggage.

Since I usually don't ride a bike, I didn't understand the traffic regulations but thanks to our experienced instructor's help, I was able to relax and enjoy the scenery.

I had been to the places we visited before, but on the bike, it felt like going to a place I'd never been to. We had photos taken for us along the way, so you don't have to worry about you camera getting in the way or any damage being done to it. There were all sorts of things we could experience that weren't on the schedule too such as the Tsukiji Fish Market, talking with the locals, a delicious bento for lunch from an old sushi shop, hot matcha, tasty coffee and homemade jam, sweet and strong apple juice, hot grilled sweet potatoes in Ryogoku...

Riding a bike all day does make you a little sore, but it wasn't too difficult at all. Instead, it made me want to ride a bike more often. It feels great to be able to go so far on a bike and you'll be able to feel you achieved something.

The day after the tour, I took a look at a bicycle shop that I'd never been in before.

I will join this tour again!
Thank you very much!!

Tokyo 1-Day Bus Tour to Meiji Shrine, Asakusa & Odaiba with Tokyo Bay Cruise

Reviewed by: CityDiscovery traveler, 2016/08/17

Great way to see all the most important sites of Tokyo in just one day. We visited Meiji Jingu Shrine and the Imperial Palace Gardens with the tour guide and had free time to explore the Sensoji Temple. Lunch was good, a buffet lunch in a nice restaurant with many local foods. Then we enjoyed a boat cruise on Tokyo Bay on a beautiful boat (go to the deck for the views, don't stay inside) before heading to Odaiba where we had 30 minutes of free time. The tour guide was very nice.

Tokyo Half-Day Small Group Bike Tour from Toranomon Hills

I saw Tokyo From a Different Perspective

Reviewed by: HIRO, 2016/08/15

I went on this tour with my friend since we wanted to do something different on our day off! On the day of, we were the only people, so it felt like a private tour which was really lucky! The bikes were GIOS and we could choose from blue, white and pink, so we started off feeling great! They also had all of the necessary things prepared so it was really easy to participate without having to worry about clothes and what to bring.

Before we started, I was a little bit nervous about safety, but since we road mostly on roads with very little traffic and places specifically for bikes, I relaxed and had fun cycling.

We chose the "Stylish Asakusa, Nihonbashi, and Edo Course" so it was great to see various places in Tokyo like Ginza, Tsukiji, Nihonbashi, Asakusa, Ryogoku etc all in one day. During the tour, our guide listened to our complaints, let us drop in and out of certain places and took a lot of photos for us!

We rode from 9 AM to 4 PM so my butt hurt a little, but even I (who doesn't do exercise regularly) was able to pass the day without overdoing it! I didn't even have any muscle pain the next day!

As for the sightseeing, we are from Tokyo, living in the suburbs, and we didn't get a detailed explanation of the famous spots. So I felt a little dissatisfied with that.

I'm looking forward to the tour's improvement. Thank you!

Tokyo Half-Day Small Group Bike Tour from Toranomon Hills

Tokyo Sightseeing I Never Knew About!

Reviewed by: YUKI, 2016/08/15

I went on this tour just before the sakura bloomed. Beforehand we covered everything from the lecture to getting gloves and helmets! The weather was so good that we felt it was the best weather for cycling as we started.

At first, I thought I would be afraid of riding on the road, but with the help of our guide we rode on streets with few cars, so I felt safe while I was cycling.

There were also back streets, old shops, famous stores, temples, and shrines...
While we road around, the guide explained everything to us and I learned more about Tokyo than I already knew. (There was a lot of historical scenery that is difficult to look up by yourself and ride around on a bike, so I'm very thankful to the guide)

The guide was kind to take pictures in various places, and make tea for us in the afternoon! I made some great memories.

Finally, since the tour was long, I ended up slowing down toward the end since I had very little strength left. For those of you who have great endurance, I think you will definitely love this tour and its various details!
