I had a great afternoon... - I had a great afternoon exploring Asakusa and the temple grounds with Nicolas. He shared some great historical context and cultural details that added a lot of value to the visit beyond just seeing the sights. He also did a great job navigating the crowds and pointing out some of the better local food stalls along the way. Nicolas is a friendly, knowledgeable guide, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an insightful tour of Tokyo

Great way to experience all of Asakusa - Connie was a fabulous guide for our large group today! We were travelling with kids and she made sure we went at a pace that suited us all without missing out on the full experience. Connie was very knowledgeable about the history and location and also gave us great recommendations for food and coffee to enjoy afterwards. Thanks Connie!

lots of asakusa history - really amazing tour by connie. she’s very friendly and relateable and made everyone feel welcome and included. the tour was in depth enough to understand the history behind everything, and not too long so as to loose attention. as i was travelling solo i really liked how willing she was to include me and to also take pictures of me (i have no others of me on the trip) and it meant a lot! would recommend to others.

Great guide, poor logistics - The guide was great but for some reason they sent me a different meet up location and I ended up missing 1/4 of the tour. I really liked all the explanations and would make sure this tours are not affected by messing up simple things like sending the correct meet up point - which it even wasn't the guide but someone from the agency
