Very nice experience but very overpriced

Brigitte_H, Apr 2024

The experience of having a picknick under the Sakura trees was amazing and Marc did a fantastic job securing a spot for us. However, this tour is extremely overpriced. To pay more than 400 euro for a lunch is just tooo much and we even had to pay for our own metro-tickets. Big fail for Viator, but would hire Marc back privately without a doubt!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience under the Sakura trees with Marc. We understand your concerns about the pricing and will take your feedback into consideration for future improvements. Should you decide to explore more privately with Marc, we'd be thrilled to assist. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

Great tour, but trees weren’t in bloom yet

tomhebrank, Mar 2024

Unfortunately, the cherry blossom bloom was late this year because of the cold weather. My tour guide went out of his way to find the few blooming trees, and added some additional stops to make up for the lack of blooming trees.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Despite the unforeseen circumstances, I'm delighted to hear that your host made every effort to enhance your experience. We appreciate your flexibility and hope to welcome you back for a tour during a more vibrant season in the future!

Well done!

Colette_C, Mar 2024

The best part of my experience was the lovely, knowledgeable guide, Kyoko. Given the constant rain and the chilly weather which led to cherry blossoms not blooming she was quick to improvise and we spent a lovely time covering alternative activities which weren’t even on my list. Thank you, Kyoko

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Kyoko despite the weather challenges! Thank you for your kind words, and can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure!
