Discover Tokyo's Cultural Heart: Asakusa and Ueno's Timeless Charms
“A most splendid tour”
Marie is a marvellous guide with superb attention to detail. Correspondence prior to tour was informative. The tour itself was just brilliant. Marie has a lot of knowledge and provides a really unique and insightful experience. And she's really delightful company. This is one of the best tours I've had and I'd highly recommend anyone with a few days in Tokyo to book this tour immediately.
