“Big Day Out”
An amazing day that saw us travelling to many precincts around Tokyo, giving us four 70year old techno-phobes the chance to master navigating the Tokyo Metro under Aissam’s guidance. Stunning views from various vantage points, taste treats throughout the markets and the chance to catch a free Geisha cultural show, made this a most memorable experience.

“Nightlife discovery tour with Aissam”
As a party of four 70year olds wanting to experience and see the sights of Tokyo at night, we engaged Aissam to lead us and we were not disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed an evening of hidden laneways, bustling nightlife and a sumptuous, traditional Japanese meal.
