    Our tour guide Joy was excellent and gave us lots of information about Japan. Although it felt rushed i understand that in order to see and do all these things in one day you can’t spend much time in one place. I highly recommend this tour

    Our tour guide Joy was great. #1 tour guide in Tokyo. And Tanaka was #1 bus driver. All the locations were great and lunch was good as well. There was even entertainment provided with a traditional Japanese drum band.
