Very nice guide I love it he have a lot of information, very interesting

Marin was a wonderful tour guide! She was very considerate trying to keep the group together while in a very busy area. She was well informed and was able to answer our questions with ease. The tour covered a relatively small area of the city, but it is very historically and culturally significant, so it felt like we covered a lot of ground in a short 2 hour tour. The group size was perfect (less than 10 people), which made it feel personalized, while also allowing us the opportunity to meet some fellow travelers. Would recommend this tour to other Tokyo visitors!
