Amazing thrill while feeling safe and lots of cool photos!
Nunila_D, Apr 2024
Amazing experience! It was raining but the tour went on anyway and it was totally worth it. They offer water-proof gear (top, bottom and glasses), so if it's raining don't be discouraged. Mark was our guide, and he took great pictures and offered clear instructions. The costume choices are really good too! An hour and 30min is the perfect length too. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good thrill! I also felt safe since they offered clear instructions and had a guide at the front and the back of the group. 10/10.
So much fun!
Varsha_S, Apr 2024

Great experience highly recommend
Kayla_J, Apr 2024
I went with my friend and she wasn’t able to participate because her Idp wasn’t a physical copy and the place she purchased advised the license was accepted in Japan. Since she couldn’t drive, I lost out on money and she missed a cool experience. I had an amazing time highly recommend. I also recommend the viator site advise that a physical idp and issuing companies that are accepted be listed on the site. Only giving a 4 for that reson
Response from Host, Apr 2024

If you do one tour that is both fun and engaging - this is it.
Chasen_S, Apr 2024
Everything about this was fantastic. Felt connected to the Tokyo streets zipping around and driving in formation with the pack. Our tour guide Usama was excellent and fun, and the people in my group made it a blast (randoms too, new connections). This is THE experience that you cannot do anywhere else in my travels.

This experience was our favorite in all of Japan! Everyone who works there is awesome but I have to give a special shout out to our guide Adam who made the drive incredibly safe and fun.
