Max is both knowledgeable and personable. His English is excellent. We enjoyed a nice day of seeing some of Tokyo's highlights and learning about the Japanese culture.

While we were in Japan during an unprecedented time which meant major attractions were closed due the virus and we had rained upon our tour. Our tour guides Eric and Sakurai were very considerate in attempting to give us our full experience in Japan and had to make some changes to our itinerary due to the weather and the crisis. We still had a great time and got to experience some of the temples without major people traffic. We got to see Japan in a way it has never been seen before and I look forward to returning to see it busy and full of life again..LorelieAnn_A

Sonoko our tour guide is absolutely love. She is on time, gives clear directions and suggestions and very professional. She made sure our itinerary is met and always so helpful with our toddler she even has treats for her. She is knowledgeable and speaks English really well. I would highly recommend this private tour in Tokyo specially with Sonoko as your guide. Prepare to be exhausted though as it's very compact, a lot of walking and train ride but super worth it. Thanks again Sonoko and Viator for a fun day in Tokyo!Carolyn D

This tour was perfect for our first day in Tokyo. We got to visit all the “must sees” and learn how to use the train system. Our tour guide, Ken, was so helpful, insightful, and knowledgeable about all the sights visited. He took photos and gave us other information for shopping we wanted to do on other days we had planned in Tokyo. I highly recommend this private tour and if you’re lucky enough to get Ken, I know you won’t be disappointed.
