Awesome and fun tour - Great experience! Tour guide was Lennard and he was awesome. They teach you how to drive the go-karts and it’s easy to get a hang of it. The sights we see and facts we learn are fun and lots of good photo opportunities. Well worth the trip and experience.

Great fun and iconic experience not to be missed - This is an absolute must... we had such fun with Ken our guide on the day. Make no mistake, all the other staff were great and made us feel welcome when we arrived at the garage. Ken ensured we had a great trip around the city streets, taking some great fun pictures as well... We drove by a good few of the iconic land marks but Shibuya is a great experience to wait and drive over... Ken made sure we stayed safe in our little group as we traversed the city and rotated the pairs so photos could be had for all... All in all, well worth the money for the fun and experience of pedestrians waving and taking pictures of us, and us of them... (must get your IDP tho)
Great day Ken and staff Thank You (sorry took a while to post been ill)

So much fun - 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.

Great way to see the city while unique Tokyo experience - Such a fun way to see the city!! Our tour guide Issam was lovely. He took photos of us, shared local tips about places to eat and visit, and made us feel safe while having fun. I was surprised at how easy it was to drive around such a busy city like Tokyo. I never felt unsafe. We went on their last tour of the day and got to see the city lit up. I would highly recommend going in the evening. We got some great photos by the Tokyo Tour. Getting your international drivers permit was very easy too. Just make sure you do it before coming to Japan.

Great fun - Monkey karting led by our guide Henrik was a fun and thrilling experience.
After a quick briefing, getting dressed into onesies, we jumped into our karts (which have a pouch you can store your passport/licence) and headed off. The karts were easy to drive and the streets of Tokyo were great (not too busy, not scary). This was one of our Japan trip highlights, worth organising an international driving permit for! Henrik took photos of us at various intersections which were sent through for free at the end of our tour.

Go Kart Crazy Tokyo 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…
