Perfect way to learn about Japan. Taka, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the variety of places in the tour. Showed us how to get around. Great way to start off a trip so you can learn how to get around and ask questions if you’ve never been to Japan

Tokyo travel guide - TAKA Taka was amazing. She was so friendly and remembered all 9 of our names within the first hour. She was so sweet anytime we needed to change something slightly and never seemed annoyed with anything we asked. She explain everything in great detail and spoke amazing English. She joked with us, made sure we experienced everything, and overall was one of our group members. Could not recommend any more!
