Nice one day overview of Tokyo. I would have preferred to visit more sites, rather than spending an hour and a half at each one. Didn’t need to sit around the Skytower for that amount of time, when a 10 minute look at the top was sufficient. Same thing at the (Senso-ji temple, Kaminari-mon Gate. It was nice being able to skip the long line at the Skytower, being part of a tour group. Shout out to our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Angela and skillful bus driver. Note to beer lovers- stay away from the matcha infused beer, and opt for the matcha ice cream or other choices. It had a fishy taste, and is a sin to ruin a perfectly good beer like that! Enjoyed the tasty fried chicken lunch and chatting with other travelers from around the world.

We were able to see a lot in one day. We covered Tokyo like an expert. Our tour guide was witty and kept the tour lively and informative.

Yui was very informative and knowledgeable about the different eras of history and we learnt a lot about Japan and links to modern day. Programme was efficient and there was a friendly atmosphere on the bus. Lunch was delicious. The matcha experience was interesting. I enjoyed the ice cream. Yui has a great sense of humour and she was very helpful and inclusive. A great tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, which was finished with a sunset cruise. Mary Reardon and Kim Reardon. PS. Yui - I left my Sky Tower tin of Chocolate Crunch on the bus. Please keep and enjoy them!

Amazing Tokyo city tour with boat trip. Our guide, Yui, was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If you want to see and hear about the history of the city and Japan, I would recommend this tour

A truly wonderful experience — full of learning, laughter, and warmth. Your friendly nature made it so easy for us to communicate and enjoy every moment. Had an amazing time with my family (and our toddler too!). Thank you, LOVELY, for making our day so special and memorable!

We had an absolutely fantastic day trip in Tokyo! The itinerary was well-planned, and every stop was worth it. Our guide, Lovely, truly lived up to her name — she was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Her insights added so much depth to every place we visited. Highly recommend this tour and especially Lovely as a guide!

Lovely was patient and friendly and kind as we had a full bus that was challenging. She explained the history of Japan succinctly so it was easy to understand. She was always there and available to talk to.

It was worth the time spend and we covered so many important must watch sites in a day. It was a long day of around 10 hrs. The guide Lovely provided good commentary throughout the trip.
