Yoshiko gave a wonderful Asakusa tour! - Yoshiko did a wonderful job showing me around and explaining the history of Akasuka! I had a great time seeing not only the shrine and temple, but some "local" hotspots as well! Thank you for giving me a deeper understanding of the area and its history :-)

Great experience at Asakusa in night - Night tour in Asakusa was excellent. Yoshiko san took us 8th floor of Asakusa building, nostalgic underground food court, shopping arcade with beautiful closed shutters, temple and shrine. They all made me surprised in terms of different culture.

- Keiko San is a very enthusiastic guide. She is very knowledgeable about Asakusa. She even told us interesting stories (about Skytree construction, Asahi building trivia, facts about Sensoji temple, among others). It's a great tour to take during the summer as temperatures tend to go down after sunset, and also if you want to know more about Asakusa.

Fun night tour - Hiro is an excellent guide. He is very kind and knowledgeable and I enjoyed his company as I was on the tour alone. Asakusa is much better at night because it is less crowded and I got to see some cool things. I definitely recommend this tour, it’s an excellent way to enjoy am early evening!

Snippets of History - The tour was very interesting! The guide was knowledgeable and clearly enthusiastic about sharing the history and culture of Asakusa. I thought the area would be densely crowded, but surprisingly, in the evening it wasn't.

Asakusa evening guided tour visit - Keiko-san is a very nice, kind, enthusiastic and positive guide. We explored the area and I discovered buildings, restaurants, etc. I had not seen nor known about before. She told us about historical facts and gave us insight into the history of some old places. We received guidance about restaurants that are worth trying. She was really patient with our multiple stops along the way to look around and take pictures. The group was small which made the experience also enjoyable.

6 PM Temple guided walking tour Sensoji Temple - We had a wonderful tour with Mac, who explained so much about the Senso-ji Temple to us, including the difference between a temple and a shrine, that you place your hands together at a temple, you do not do the double clap as you do at a shrine… Things like that! The temple was closed for the evening when we got there, we had the 6 PM tour. It would be good to put in the 6 PM tour literature that you will not be able to enter the temple, we would have liked to have done that, also the ritual washing basin was turned off for the evening, and we wanted to go through that process. On the flipside, it was wonderful because the temple grounds were very peaceful and contemplative, and we appreciated some quiet after a busy day, so six of one 1/2 dozen of the other, I guess! All in all we had a wonderful tour and Mac was a caring and informative guide
