Had an amazing time with James “James Bond”. He took us to all of the important sights and gave us information on them including an incredible restaurant for lunch. We learned a lot about Japan. We would definitely use his service again if we come back to Japan.
My son (12) and I loved our day with Mitsuaki (aka “James.” He was very kind and knowledgeable, and very engaging.
James was fantastic! We visited Meiji Shrine, Shibuya Crossing, the Imperial Palace, Tsukiji Outer Market, and Senso-ji Temple. James provided great information on the history and culture of Japan, the government and the religions.
James was a great and very accommodating guide. We had to cut our trip a little short but despite that we had a wonderful flavour of Tokyo both ancient and modern. Many thanks.
James was a great guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and adjusted the tour to meet our interests and requests. The 6-hour tour was at a great pace, with plenty of time at each stop. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend.
We had a great private tour that hit all the main tourist spots we needed to see while in Tokyo. James was wonderful and such an excellent guide very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour.
This is a must do in Tokyo. We took the tour with James. A very warm and kind driver and tour guide. He made the tour homely and lovely. We went to all the major landmarks in Tokyo with plenty of times for photo shoot. Our tour guide even accommodated our personal request for extra stop. I believe this is the best way to see Tokyo. He knows the best drive route in Tokyo to avoid traffic and see everything and more within the allotted time. We had time shop too. It was amazing. Ask for James if possible when booking to tour. I give this tour A+++
Our afternoon tour to see sights in Tokoyo with James was really interesting. He was a wonderful guide and went to great trouble to make sure we enjoyed our travel. His car was pristine. Very comfortable to see the sights. Highly recomend James if you want to have a tour arond Tokoyo. Thank you James
Mr James was an excellent guide with so much patience. He explained the history behind all the tourist spots. He helped us clicking some pictures for our family as well. Overall, wonderful experience!
Really provides the key highlights of Tokyo although only a 6 hour tour James the guide was excellent and very accommodating
We really enjoyed our tour with James. We saw 4 highlights of Tokyo in a very comfortable car with the very knowledgeable and kind James. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
Pick up from hotel was the best. No trying to understand the rail system., it's huge! Our guide/driver was very kind and knowledgeable. He was very professional but he also listened to us and what was important for us to see. I had a craving for cheesecake and found the type and a location to grab a bit. That was the bomb. It's not often that someone goes out of the way for you and when they do it's the best. Thank you James it was amazing.
We had a great half day tour of Tokyo with James. We visited all the major sights and James was very knowledgeable about the history and significance of the places we visited.
Great way to see major sights of Tokyo in comfort in 4-5 hours. Despite a rainy day we enjoyed the experience. Vehicle was comfortable & driver very friendly.
James communicated before our tour, showed up on time in a very clean new vehicle, provided valuable information as to the sites visited and was very pleasant.
Our driver James was so nice, he explained everything about our destinations.its like we’ve known him for a long time. He took care of us very well.
Mitsuaki was our guide and was absolutely amazing! He showed us so many things and was very knowledgeable! He let us take our time and take photos. It was the best tour we did while in Tokyo!
Outstanding service! James, our tour guide, was on time, very efficient, and incredibly pleasant to work with. His knowledge of the history really stood out and added great value to the experience. Highly recommend!
James was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw more of Tokyo than we would have by just doing a walking tour. James certainly made our stay in Tokyo better and I would highly recommend this tour
Our family had a great time learning about the history of Japan and enjoying the sights thanks to our guide, James. He was super informative, kind, and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. We enjoyed his info and guidance on places to visit and try once our tour was over. Our van was warm and clean. We drove around in comfort. Highly recommend James.
Our adventure was great, we really experienced the highlights of Tokyo😎 Our tour went into the evening and we asked our guide to show us the rainbow bridge and Statue of Liberty at night, amazingly cool.
This half day tour took us to several sights that we considered “must-see” considering our short time in Tokyo. The Shibuya scramble is truly an experience. The trips to the temples are all good. The Sky Tree tower is a must if you want to see a 360 degree view of Tokyo. What made it an enjoyable experience is James, our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and he explained everything in detail. And his command of the English language is impressive. We had meaningful conversations.
We had a lovely tour with James who drove us around to various sights. He was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
James is an excellent guide and his half-day tour was perfect for me since I had less than 48 hours to explore Tokyo.
James did an excellent job of showing us the highlights in a half day tour. He was on time, accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend James to others.
Our guide James was on time. He was very pleasant and friendly. He wanted to make our experience enjoyable and he did. I highly recommend James!
James was a great guide, informative and very good sense of humour and most patient considering the hot day.
Wonderful experience. James was very informative regarding the history of the Asakusa Temple. He was very helpful with photos and is very easy going. It was nice to have a personalized experience. Highly recommend, especially in July when the temperature is a sweltering 100 degrees.
Our tour guide was James and he was extremely respectful and helpful during our tour. He took my spouse and I to lovely Tokyo attractions and when I took a tumble while crossing the street he was right there to pick me back up so I didn’t get too hurt. It was the perfect excursion for my spouse and I who are both senior citizens. Made exploring Tokyo much easier!
This was an outstanding luxury tour. James took my teenage son and I around Tokyo in his Audi A2. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible and his English is perfect. The tour was as good or better than some of the “luxury” tours we had earlier in our visit. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the highlights of Tokyo in a short amount of time.
