“Unvergessliche Tour durch Tokio”
Eine sehr aufregende und kurzweilige Stadtführung durch das alte und neue Tokio mit vielen spannenden Informationen. Die Tour war insbesondere sehr abwechslungsreich gestaltet, es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Beim nächsten Besuch in Tokio gerne wieder. Vielen Dank für den wunderbaren Nachmittag.
“11 hours in a car with only scenic stop ”
Horrible traffic, taking 5 hours to get there and 5 hours to get back, plus traffic all around Lake Kawaguchi area. Leaving absolutely no time to visit anything, not to mention having to pay for extra time. The driver we had was wonderful, kind and patient. He tried his best to give us something memorable. Unfortunately there wasn’t much he could do about the traffic, but he mentioned that it was a holiday that day and for the next few days. I would give our driver 5 out of 5 stars. Of course traffic is not the company’s fault, however they should have mentioned that and considered it in the itinerary they provided. So it did not feel like they cared about customer experience. As we would have avoided booking on a holiday if we knew.
“Amazing Time in Tokyo with Toki!”
If you are like me, you are probably skeptical of any reviews you read. But in all honesty I can tell you that Toki is truly special. It was obvious from the very beginning that she wanted this tour to be about me, and not what was convenient for her. She put more effort into customizing this tour to my preferences than I ever would have expected. Toki is classy, polite, and incredibly thoughtful. Until today, I was wondering if I made a bad decision coming to Tokyo. Well, Toki changed that entirely! I am so happy and grateful that Toki showed me around today! I have no doubt that if you choose Toki as your guide, you will feel as I do. Toki is truly the best!
