5.00Highly recommend this amazing travel experience of touring Tokyo and you will be amazed at getting to see all of the jaw dropping tourist attractions that the city has to offer. The tour guide Jun-Ko was very knowledgeable and didn't mind answering questions that you will have. The only thing is that you have to be punctual and make sure to leave on time with the tour group so that you don't cause the whole group to be behind on time. The views of the tourist attractions were amazing and getting to know the history behind the sites were just as great too.
