Tokyo Morning Tour to Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya

Knowledgeable English Speaking Guide

Reviewed by: Site Seeing lady, 2019/12/09

I learned quite a bit about many of the destinations in Tokyo. I felt like this was a good taste of the city. The stops were very short but adequate. The guide did a great job of describing history and ritual. I did the half day tour. I didn’t know I would have to transfer buses after I was picked up but they guides were helpful.

Tokyo Private 1-Day Tour from Yokohama Port or Hotel with Customizable Itinerary

Wonderful day with Ken Takahashi in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Ron Atkinson, 2019/10/28

On the day after Tokyo's massive typhoon and large earthquake, Ken Takahashi met us at the Yokohama port to provide the day tour in Tokyo we had reserved, originally planned the day earlier. Ken took us to all the places we wanted to see, with a few of them off the regular tourist path, with Tuck, our driver. We were so pleased to see the usual places tourists want to see, as well as take us to a bamboo forest. My wife also wanted to find an artisanal fan, and Ken found an excellent shop with wide choices with a 5th generation owner, and he helped her purchase one with a stand. Ken also took us to a tea ceremony, and then a tempura lunch, the best tempura we've ever eaten. He has an excellent knowledge of history and of the city, and with his experience, and our interests, he curated an active and meaningful 8-hour day. After the day, he created an edited video of our day (taken with his Go-Pro camera) and promptly sent it to us along with a journal of the day. One of the things we found most thoughtful was the coordination of Tuck's dropping us off close to the places we wanted to see, and then magically Tuck picked us up at a very close location, to maximize our valuable time that day. Wonderful day with Ken, and proactive communication with Veltra (Taiji) when we all realized that the typhoon was going to hit Tokyo on exactly the day we had planned our tour. We were so grateful that our tour could be pushed back one day.

Comments from activity operators

Dear Ron, Thank you very much for your review. We are so glad to know you and your wife enjoyed the tour.

As you experienced, we always try to meet your request whenever possible. The bamboo forest in Yokohama you visited is not known so well even among local people. We also glad you enjoyed the tea ceremony session as an optional choice where you actually prepared Maccha (the powdered green tea) by yourselves and served it to your partners. Your smiles made us happy. Once again, thank you very much for giving us an opportunity to serve you. Please come again!

Cheers, Ken

Harajuku Instax Photography Tour to Takeshita Street & Omotesando

Fun tour with a unique souvenir to take home

Reviewed by: Cortney Oh, 2019/09/30

My tour guide Takahiro was the best! He's fun, knowledgeable, and easygoing. We had great conversation as we walked around Harajuku and took great pictures using the Fuji Instamax camera provided by Wonder Photo Studio. I highly recommend ordering extra film and an additional album since they make such great keepsakes!

Reviewed by: Nancy P, 2019/08/17

The tour itinerary was very good and gave a nice overview of Tokyo. The guide we had in the morning was good and knowledgeable, but at times was very difficult to understand. The guide in the afternoon was excellent. Lunch was very good, but we felt too rushed and the restaurant staff was somewhat rude
Overall the tour was.money well spent.

Thank you very much Jonathan for joining my tour.
It was great pleasure to meet you. I wanted to show you as much as possible as your time in Japan was limited.
The ramen was a good choice and the I hope the girls enjoyed the shopping street in Harajuku and Shibuya.
I wanted to talk more about our history but let's keep this for the next time.

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

Grand Tokyo all day tour

Reviewed by: Diane, 2019/06/27

We thoroughly enjoyed the all day tour. What attracted us in the beginning, was that it would be in English. Both the morning tour guide, and the afternoon tour guide, were very good, professional, and shared lots of information about the various areas the bus drove, as well as information on Japanese culture and customs. We saw such a wide variety of sights. Some were just driving by, and quite a few places you stopped for 45 minutes or so. It even included a river cruise. . I recommend paying to have your lunch included. It was ready for us when we got there, and was delicious. By doing that, we didnt have to rush around to figure out where we were going to eat. I highly recommend the All Day Grand Tokyo Tour

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

Grand Full Day Tokyo Tour

Reviewed by: Gregg, 2019/06/01

It was a great overall tour of Tokyo BUT too many customers on the tour were VERY late arriving back at the tour bus again and again. This totally inconvenienced all the other people on the tour, cut into the time spent at tour sites including lunch and made the itinerary more rushed then should have been necessary. Customers waiting on the bus wanted the tour guide to leave these people behind so we could have the designated time at tour sites but instead, we waited an average of 15-30 minutes on the bus waiting for people who could care less about keeping us all waiting. The tour guide was great but went out looking for these late people, then jammed us through the rest of the program. Customers who were either slow, older or physically challenged such as using a cane for walking couldn’t keep up.
Grey Line needs to adhere to the rule of “make it back to the bus on time or we leave you behind” instead of making others angry at the tour guide, Greyline and the late customers. NOT what I paid for.

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

Poor tour guide/agency (grayline)

Reviewed by: William, 2019/05/19

Dislike the multi dips , guide changing in mid day, and bus changing to max out the margins for the agency, sacrificing the comfort level and experience of the users. Morning guide was really poor as she waited for the return passengers from the shrine at the bus parking area instead of providing some sort of assistance in between the shrine and the bus lot

Yanaka Cultural Walking Tour with Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street & Nezu Shrine

A splendid walk

Reviewed by: Johanna, 2019/05/13

The walking tour was really very nice and interesting.
Our guide Hizuru gave us much information about the history and the culture of Yanaka. She had a book with her and she explained a lot with pictures and so on and it was very easy to understand. We were also very lucky to see the beautifull flowers at the temple. Our guide has made many photo's of us and she had sent the photo's by mail to us. That was very nice. We have enjoyed the tour and recommend this tour.

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

If you have never been to Tokyo, please do this

Reviewed by: Wendy, 2019/05/10

Hiro was the perfect guide. We have never travelled to a big city before and she was very patient, knowledgeable and easy to understand.
We asked her to help us on our first day in Tokyo. She helped us complete rail passes, subway navigation, the right way to catch a train, how to book a bullet train. We also made sure on that first day that we did all the 'must see' things so we didn't miss out. Hiro gave us the confidence to tackle the subway the next day and also gave us lots of suggestions for things to do and places to see over the following days.
She also took us to a fabulous eating spot for lunch and also took us back there that afternoon because we left some of our souvenirs there. A lovely lady.

Highly recommend this tour!

Reviewed by: CathyDi, 2019/04/28

We had a free day in Tokyo so decided to book this tour on line before we arrived as was highly recommended by a friend! We weren’t disappointed! Didn’t do a pickup from the hotel we were staying at so we had to jump on the subway to get to the pickup, was easy! Then we were transported to yet another hotel by taxi! Our tour guide Yoshi was brilliant! He covered so much in the full day tour, loved every minute of it! We booked the tour which included the Japanese lunch which was a delicious! Saw all the highlights of Tokyo, even included a boat ride down the river! At the end of the tour the bus dropped us off at the subway as we decided to go to Shibuya before returning to our hotel! Don’t miss this tour!

Very good service from Japan Gray Line; a customer service representative was at the meeting point (hotel) to welcome and to get us on the bus.
The tour is very good and really highlights what to see and to do in Tokyo, leading to exploring on own more areas in the following days, should time allows. The guides provide good explanation of the areas toured, and would go the extra mile to satisfy the customer beyond the basic service of the tour, to include attending to personal requests from the customer.
Overall good job, making a day we very much enjoyed.
