Great Tour - Tour with Shah was one of my favorite experiences on my trip. If you want to take a day trip out of Tokyo without having to deal with any hassle, then this experience is for you. We were able to customize our tour and spend our time doing what we wanted to the most.

Exceptional Service by Shah and Unforgettable Experience in Japan - The locations were absolutely amazing—rich in history and full of vibrant, colorful flowers. But the true star of the experience was our driver, Shah. He went above and beyond the duties of a typical tour guide or driver. He not only shared historical insights about the places we visited but also assisted with ticketing and even helped us recover an important item that had been left behind. His dedication and kindness truly exemplify outstanding customer service. If we bring a group back to Japan, we’ll absolutely be booking with him again. 11/10 for going the extra mile!

Keep your cash. Catch a train and read Google. It will be far more enjoyable. - I am not sure where to start with this review other than to say that I strongly DO NOT recommend taking this "tour". Yes, "tour" in inverted commas given the fact that this is a glorified uber driver in a van. You're lucky to be even told where you're being dropped off at let alone any information about it. Three things are promised as included with the "tour": - an English speaking driver (yeah there's not a lot of this) - an air conditioned vehicle (if you mean 20% of the time? sure) - bottled water (what bottled water?) To top off what was already an exceptionally disappointing "tour" we were dropped at our final destination, the Ramen Museum in Yokohama. The driver hadn't even been there before and this was made quite obvious by the fact he dropped us off with the instruction he would pick us up in an hour... but there was a 45 minute wait to get into the venue. Needless to say, we ate at Burger King. Not quite what we had imagined when we set off for our adventure. Keep your cash. Catch a train and read Google. It will be far more enjoyable.
