A half day tour to explore the best of Tokyo Old and New
“Awesome Half Day in Tokyo!”
We had such a great time touring with Carol on our first adventure in Tokyo that we booked another tour with her on our return to Tokyo towards the end of our trip. Our group had a great time at the Pokemon exhibit that Carol discovered (which had just opened two days prior) at the Azabundai Hills Gallery, in addition to all the other things she showed us in our 4 hour trek. We highly recommend touring with Carol.
“Great time touring Tokyo”
Carol was an absolute joy to be with and interacted well with the age differences in our group. She was very knowledgeable and informative on all the places we visited on our second day in Tokyo. She was able to seamlessly blend an itinerary that included the historic Meiji Jingu Shrine with the modern tech found in Akihabara and find good places to eat. We highly recommend her.
“A wonderful Tokyo experience ”
Carol was an excellent communicator before and during our visit to Tokyo. Before we arrived she answered all my questions promptly and during the tour, from pick-up at our hotel until drop off, she was fabulous. Carol speaks excellent English! We asked to do a mix of touristy and local activities and that worked perfectly. She knew excellent places to eat during our tour and recommended dinner spots after our tour that we enjoyed greatly. Carol also explained the subway system to us. Utilizing google maps and with her instructions, we successfully navigated the Tokyo subway system for our last 4 days without any issues. We traveled to our dinner restaurants every evening easily! Highly recommended and in the future, we hope she comes and visits us in the USA.
