Our Monkey Kart adventure was one of our top highlights in Japan! We had the best time. From the very beginning, the guides made sure we had perfect costumes, we felt comfortable on the bikes and we were safe. Once on the road, we didn't stop smiling. We had so many pictures take of us and during breaks we were given information about the city around us. It was a great way to see all of Tokyo. We went at dusk and the city was in perfect light. Even my 8 year old LOVED it and she rode on one of the 2 seater bikes with the guide. I can't recommend this company enough. Definitely worth the price and the time. So much fun!

Amazing experience and everything fully explained by the team. We were lucky to have an individual session with Rakesh so able to keep a fast pace all the way through the route. Many landmarks explained during the session so became a bit of a tourist trip also. Well worth the money. Thank you Rakesh and team!!!
Great staff! Concerned with providing us a great time and a memorable experience as well as watching out for our safety. Highly recommend this tour!
Great kart ride through the streets of Tokyo. Guide Sergei made sure we were safe and had a fantastic experience even though it was raining.
Absolutely amazing experience! Fast and fun and yes lots of people on the street looking at you and taking pictures. Rakesh our guide was knowledgeable and did such a fantastic job guiding us through the streets of Shibuya and especially the Shibuya crossing. If you come to Japan you need to get on one of these go karts and drive through the streets! You will not regret it. Ps don’t forget your international drivers license and passport.
Despite the cold weather, the Go-Karts was well worth the wait. Julian was a great tour guide, offering us informative tips throughout the tour of the surrounding area of Shibuya. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Japan!
Was not explained what short hand IDP meant . If knew before left home could have easily sorted and rectified . Sadly today turned away with no refund whatsoever even though paid extra day before to move time !
AMAZING! Gus and Franz were the best! took lots of photos and saw all the major sights! Would highly recommend!!! We’ll be back!
Absolutely excellent! Highly recommend night time Must have international drivers lic & passport or you cannot participate
Don’t book unless you have a printed official international drivers license. Operator did not provide a refund after this unfortunate mistake.
Terrible terrible service. Not accommodating whatsoever. Dont use this company. The employees nor manager were helpful when it came to accommodating.
Reece was amazing and took awesome photos the tour was great! We had a blast, would definitely do it again and again! Highly recommended!
The Monkey-Kart tour was so much fun! Raphael made sure we understood the mechanics of the kart. He also informed us of the different sites along the way!
Our tour guide Raphael was amazing! He was attentive, made sure we were safe, and ensured we knew the instructions! 10/10 would recommend! Book with Raphael!
AMAZING experience!!! The staff were friendly. Raphael was great with giving instructions before the drive and during the drive he kept us safe. A MUST DO when visiting Tokyo.
Rafael was an amazing instructor. Had a lot of fun. It is a must try. Amazing experience and views. Fun for kids as well. Don’t miss
Absolutely amazing, such an awesome experience. Highly recommended. Even did a tunnel run with the karts lol. Reece was an awesome guide too
Everything was a good experience,my only problem at times was keeping up with tour guide ,I think he went a little to fast,otherwise it was fun
Very good trip really enjoyed it go at night better experience lights and noise better for the senses
Karting around Tokyo is a fantastic experience! Reece was great, showed us how to operate the kart, signals to use when driving and the plan for the tour. Reece kept us safe, took heaps of photos so we didn’t have to try and get our own and had a good chat while waiting at the lights. We had the best time and can’t recommend them enough!
This was the experience I wanted to do the most on my trip to Japan and it didn’t disappoint. WOW, was this fun. It was so much fun. We put on our costumes and drove through the busy streets of the Shinjuku district of Tokyo. The group of riders I was with were having the time of our lives, and waving to the people watching us was also fun.. We even got a high-five from a traffic cop. We were given free bottles of water. Your tour guide was so much fun and he pointed out all of the sites including Godzilla on a building.
Awesome experience! Driving Monkey karts through the city was a blast, Rafael and Serhii were super cool—looked out for us but kept the vibe fun. 😁
Amazing trip and getting to drive around Tokyo a bit. Get a real sense of driving in another country. And we were getting photos and videos taken of us like celebrities!
This experience was so much fun! The Monkey Kart team was all great…super friendly and accommodating. There was a mishap with our booking and our time slot got overbooked but changing times wasn’t really an option for us, so they honored our original time slot. So things started off on the right foot and only got better from there. You see plenty of karts driving around the streets of Tokyo but the carts here seemed noticeably better than others I saw. Lots of free costume options to choose from during your ride and they provided us with water, storage for all our personal items and pictures and videos from our trip. Shot out to our guide Shin who was great, if they allow for guide requests you won’t be disappointed with him. When I was booking this experience and saw the number of reviews for the it, it gave me pause for a second because other ones had way more reviews. But don’t let that discourage you, I can’t imagine having a better karting experience in Tokyo. Thanks Monkey Kart team, and hopefully we’ll be back again one day!!!
amazing team, amazing experience, will come again. best to be done when just turning dark. keep up the good work team. 👍
This was a lot of FUN for the whole family! We put on fun company provided costumes and got smiles everywhere we buzzed throughout the city. Mateus from Chile was a wonderful tour guide, and kept us safe while showing us a good time.
The experience was worth every penny! They were amazing with guiding us through the traffic and explaining how to drive the go karts. They took amazing pictures throughout the trip! Shoma was an incredible guide, it was a great vibe with him.
Fede was AMAZING!!! Such a good tour & so informative. He was such a good laugh! Thank you so much, i had an incredible time & would definitely recommend.
Amazing view driving around the city. Had the best tour guide, kept us loving the whole experience! Heaps of amazing photos. Would recommend to everyone!
Great experience and staff! They were helpful and made sure we felt safe on the trip. Would highly recommend and would do it again!
This is a must when visiting Japan I highly recommend it. The instructors were nice patient and very helpful easily guided. I would definitely come back and have this experience again!!!
Mirko was wonderful We had a Fab experience Must must do in Tokyo Superb superb experience Highly recommend Pl try doing all fun poses
It was absolutely incredible! we got a nice tour of the city, and lots of funny pictures. Memory for life! Our guide Luis did an amazing job, and was both friendly and funny. He made the experience even better!
This is not to be missed. A really nice drive around the streets of Tokyo. Luis guide ensures that you get a bit of an experience with a tour, speed and excitement, and not least many nice and fun photos. Felt safe and well. and had great fun. Memories for life. Highly recommend this.
An absolute blast, we loved it and Rakesh, our leader was so friendly and fun, making sure we were always safe. We really recommend this once in a lifetime experience
This was one of my favorite things I did while on my first trip to Tokyo. Our guide Brandon was so cool and friendly. He also gave us so much info about the city on our tour. I would highly recommend booking the 5:30 or 7:30 spot because you can really appreciate all of the beautiful lights throughout the city. 10/10 experience!!!
The best fun had in our 4 day visit! Where else would we have an amazing scenic drive, a great lead guide like Juan, and an exciting experience? Thank you Monkey Karts!
We had a great time! And the operators on this tour were very friendly and made sure everybody on the tour had a chance to take turns to be on the front of the line. Tour was explained thoroughly and they were helpful. We went night time which is a plus. No traffic and sights were fantastic. Definitely recommend this tour.
It was fun and fast paced. Definitely a great experience and our guide Wren was great. They provided many photos. A big improvement could be the costumes — they looked dirty and we wouldn’t put them on. They could have clean light weight fabric too so you could wear it in the heat.
Exceptional! We have to do it! Adam's great! Incredible experience! I highly recommend it. Tokyo is a great city!
Amazing experience, tour, directions and staff, both Luis in the shop and Shin during the tour, explaining the neighborhoods and streets. Highly recommended and to repeat
