Woo Hoo!!!
MissB, Apr 2024
So. Much. Fun!!!!! And safe (even though driving on the streets of Tokyo in afternoon rush hour was a bit chaotic!) The company is very professional and the guide was excellent. Would absolutely recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Awesome mini tour
margaret_l, Apr 2024
Awesome! Tour guys are wonderful!! Do it they give you a mini tour as you drive. Safe, fun and exciting
So much fun
graeme_n, Mar 2024
We enjoyed this immensely. A totally different way to see Tokyo. Beware though that you only get a look at Tokyo Tower if you look behind yourself at just the right time. Doesn’t matter that much but don’t expect to drive around it. Also carefully consider your risk tolerance and insurance status as I suspect this isn’t the safest activity. No helmets if that’s important to you. My wife’s rear vision mirror was unstable. All that said I laughed and smiled the whole way and would thoroughly recommend it if you know what you are getting yourself into.

Go Kart Crazy Tokyo 2024
Francslyn_F, Jan 2024
Daniel took great care of us. The whole crew at Monkey Kart are awesome. Go Kart is a must do in Tokyo. The carts are all different and unique at this location. Daniel took lots of pictures my son and I had a blast. I will definitely do it again…

It was awesome driving through Tokyo in our costumes! We attracted a lot of attention at Shibuya Crossing.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

Better than I expected. By far!
Maria_M, Dec 2023
Great combination of safe and thrilling. The 90 minute flew by. My son’s talked about how much they loved it for days. We got great pics from our driver. Such a blast.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

SO MUCH FUN
Yiota_F, Dec 2023
Driving the streets was so exciting and we loved how everyone embraces you on the road pedestrians wave like they have never seen you .

Hello Yoita! Thank you for the beautiful review. It’s our top most priority to deliver satisfactory street experience in Tokyo.
Poor management
Jaspal_D, Dec 2023
The guys in charge show no sympathy in their management of their rules and regs. They need to be more clear in the requirements
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We are sorry you didn’t have a great experience. The moment important law and rule we follow is the International Driving Permit. It is illegal to drive in Japan without a driving permit. We hope you understand
Great thrills through Tokyo
Xai_V, Nov 2023
The experience was exhilarating. Crusing through the streets of Tokyo was so fun. Ken, our guide, was just exceptional. Without a doubt, having such a dedicated and knowledgeable guide enhanced the overall enjoyment of the tour. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fast-paced, enjoyable outing.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hi Xai, we are truly grateful to hear that you had a remarkable time touring with us!
Greatest fun ever.
Julieanne_B, Nov 2023
No-one should come to Tokyo and not do this, we had an absolute blast! The karts are very well maintained and didn't skip a beat. They are fast enough that it's incredibly exciting, but not fast enough to be dangerous. The instructions are clear and precise both before the tour begins and during the tour. Our tour guide was Dan and he was awesome. I'm an older, slightly larger lady, but he made me feel very comfortable with my participation in the tour and didn't hold back to cater specifically to me - he really was terrific. Honestly cannot recommend this tour highly enough. MAKE SURE YOU GET AN INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME - YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE WITHOUT IT.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you Julie for an honest review. We appreciate your information about the International Driving Permit. It’s our top most priority to ensure all are clients feel safe during the tour, we prefer to create amazing memories for everyone as long as they have an IDP

Such a great and unique way to see the city, I would do it again if I come back to Tokyo. Ken has great energy and speaks very good English.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hello William! Thank you for the kind review. We appreciate your honest feedback and looking forward to seeing you again.
Terrible misleading
Laurie_I, Oct 2023
I’ve booked this tour with great anticipation only to realize that I could not go on the ride because apparently you need a international drivers license nowhere was it stated that I needed this and I am waiting for my full return
Response from Host, Dec 2023
It’s mentioned on the viator that you must bring your international driving permit. As per Japan regulation, your local license might be valid in some countries but Japan don’t accept it. If we let you drive then it same as we breaking a law of country. I hope you understand.
Great tour
Jormel_B, Oct 2023
I booked a morning tour and Izzy showed me the sights while go karting. For my first time driving in a foreign country, it was a blast. Izzy took great care of me and traffic wasn't bad. She pointed out some sights for me to see later (which I did, thank you Izzy!). We made good enough time that Izzy took me back through Shibuya Crossing 3 times to make sure we got good pictures. Can't recommend this tour and Izzy enough!
Response from Host, Jan 2024

BEST EXPERIENCE IN TOKYO
Melissa_L, Sep 2023
this was the most amazing tour to do in Tokyo. We were able to drive on the streets and see landmarks white dressing up. The staff was amazing and I couldn’t thank them enough for giving us a great time. Ren and Yosuke gave us the best experience I could’ve ever imagined I didn’t think the price was too much and we were given well over 90 minutes of drive time. They were super fun to hang out with and I would recommend this experience to everyone.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thanks for sharing this experience with us! We’re really committed to providing a fun, safe, and exciting tour around Tokyo with you guys, hope to see you again soon!
Excellent Kart Tour around Tokyo main highlights
Jasem_A, Sep 2023
Very nice experience to tour the city in a fancy kart way. It took us 90 minutes drive around the city and visited the iconic areas such as Tokyo Tower and other crowded areas around the city. Safety was a priority and we never felt any discomfort or worry during the tour. People were excited to see us roaming around the city and many took photos of us during the tour that was entertaining.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
