I would recommend this tour to anyone. Vohra was a fantastic guide and made our day in Tokyo one to remember. The van was clean and comfortable for our group of five. We were in Tokyo to see the cherry blossoms, and Vohra did not disappoint. He tailored the itinerary to visit all the favorite sites and prioritized the best cherry blossom viewing. This tour allowed us to experience the most of this beautiful time of year in Japan. Thank you, Vohra, for making our day so memorable.

Very nice but more driver than guide.

thewardsofva, Apr 2024

Going through Tokyo to the sites that we asked about. The shrine was nice. We didn’t go to two of the sites that we asked about due to time. We were driven to the Imperial Palace but it was closed.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks for your feed back our driver is very professional and friendly he brings all the places mentioned in itineraries but the place you said was far from Tokyo and that place were closed if you arrive there that’s why our driver informed you. Imperial palace closed at 14:45. But you spend more time on other places that’s why some place closed

TERRIBLE

Alexis_B, Mar 2024

THIS IS NOT A TOUR! IS MORE LIKE A RENTAL CAR SERVICE!! We were so upset, because we wanted a tour of Tokyo, but we got something completely different. To start of the driver was new to Tokyo so didn’t know much, and he would just drop us off in places with no guidance or anything and then he would txt us for pick up, the description said 8-10hrs and the guy was in a hurry to drop us off exactly at 8hrs…. No flexibility nor accommodation I want my money back! Very bad service, this was so expensive and the quality was terrible, we could had done this on our own

Bad Tour

Mike_C, Mar 2024

This expensive tour was more like a taxi service from spot to spot. Driver, Aziz, was very polite and congenial. However he really didn’t prove much tour information. I think we would have had a much better experience on a hop on hop off tour. At a much lower cost.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks for your feed back Our driver is very professional polite & friendly he knows all the places & bring all the places mentioned in itineraries. Just weather conditions bad all day rain you can not see some places. But weather conditions is not in our hand. Thanks for feed back

Not a great experience

Rose_H, Feb 2024

Unfortunately I think your experience with this tour will depend hugely on who you get. I booked based on a large number of positive reviews however our experience was not a positive one. We would have had the same if not better experience hopping into taxis to take us around. Our driver was late picking us up, there was some traffic’s incident and this was communicated to us however they then went to and waited at the wrong hotel so by the time we got going we were an hour behind. Virtually no information about the sights or history or anything. Dropped us at places without even telling us the name just that it was a temple. Took us to the fish market even though it was closed that day. Based on our experiences with guides on other tours our guide’s English wasn’t great and they did not seem to comfortable communicating with us, they were not Japanese either so I wonder what depth of guide knowledge they actually had. Very disappointing, this was an expensive tour.

Viator 9 Hr Personal Tour of Tokyo Japan

Ashvin_D, Nov 2023

Saw most of Tokyo in 9hr personal tour. The driver was friendly and cordial. Picked us up and dropped in time.

Your better off getting a Taxi!

CHRIS_C, Jun 2023

We gave our driver a list of places we wanted to see because we had already seen someplaces in Tokyo with another tour. He decided to take us to Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower and the Asakusa Shrine, that we had told him we had already explored. We asked him to take us too other locations that we hadn't seen yet. Akihabara and Nakano Sun Mall or Ueno Ameyokocho, but he said those were just streets with some stores on them. Really just some stores. So we asked him to take us back to some stores near the Hilton Tokyo Odaiba where we were staying. After a few times driving in circles which happened all during our tour, driving in a big circle when all he had to do was turn left is a waste of time. We had been in several cities and towns of Japan for 3 weeks the driving patterns were getting familiar. Your are better off hiring a taxi to take you to places, they can print off a receipt that has the company phone number to have a taxi pick you up and take you to your next location.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Our other are driver guide reviews are best but this one driver we will fire him from work. Hope to see you again Thank you so much for your review

Great driver and experience

Abel_P, Jun 2023

I took this trip not knowing what to expect. I was picked up by Waqar outside of my hotel where he had been 15 minutes early which was amazing. Waqar proceeded to drive me to the best places in Tokyo, he had an itinerary but if I had any place in my bucket list he was more than willing to re-route and take me there. Throughout the entire 10 hours he was very formal, knowledgeable, and made the day all that more interesting. I never felt rushed unlike timed tours and no matter what, regardless of how long I would spend im each site he would be right around the corner as soon as I called saying I was ready to move on to the next site. Highly recommended tour and driver.

Kudos to our driver

Bjean_A, May 2023

Abdul, our driver was very accomodating. He speaks Japanese and English which help us understand each other. He never complain the whole trip, he's so willingly drove us to places we want to go in Tokyo area. Highly recommended and highly appreciated. Very good attitude. So, me and my family will give him 5 stars. We did enjoy our trip. Thanks to our driver.

Farrukh was one of the best guides we have ever experience and we travel often.

Bart_T, May 2023

Farrukh was an excellent driver and extremely friendly. He was very knowledgeable of Tokyo. He also suggested very good places to eat. You wish all guides had the qualities of Farrukh. He worked hard to provide us with a wonderful day in Tokyo.
