A Chauffeured Private Tour of Tokyo with Tetsuya, - A private chauffeured tour with an English speaking guide is what we arranged to see sites in Tokyo. Tetsuya (aka Teddy) was our superb, friendly guide who exceeded our expectations. Received an itinerary the day before and they arrived at our hotel on time the following morning. We visited Meiji Jungu shrine with its wonderful plants and panoramic views/walkways, Imperial Palace, even seeing the changing of the guard, Flowering Cherry Blossom, Hamarikyu Gardens, Fish Market with its different fish and unknown vegetables, a great fun experience, followed by the Asakusa Sensoji Temple with its sweet smelling incense fragrance. We stopped for a baguette lunch with a huge glass of lager at Brasserie aux Bacchanales, Ginza. We were fortunate to experience a warm, sunny day and Tetsuya’s knowledge and information made our tour such a special memorable day of Tokyo sights. The chauffeur was great in dropping us off/picking us up at each venue which made it easy. We would highly recommend the private chauffeured tour of Tokyo, and if you request Tetsuya as a guide you will experience a very memorable day with such a charming and experienced, fun guide. Thank you Tetsuya, Peter and I will remember you and our wonderful tour of Tokyo in April. Dohmo Arigatoh.
