Truthfully, you could manage all these stops by yourself as long as you have a good map and don't mind self exploration. Every stop was close to subway lines. But the convenience of having it all done for you, in my opinion, was worth the price. After each stop, you just hopped back on the bus and were whisked to your next destination. The view from the top of the Tokyo Tower was breathtaking - and they have those class floors you can stand on and look straight down. The tea ceremony - to be honest - was a bit slow and uncomfortable. You sit in an enchant tea hut on backless benches where you aren't allowed to lean on the walls - so if you're like me and have back problems, you might request to stand for the ceremony. But for me, the best part was the river cruise - for a unique and open view of the otherwise crowded and claustrophobic city. On the river, I felt like I could actually catch a breath of fresh air.

I took both this tour and the other tour of Tokyo. For me, there's no comparison: this was the better tour. The only thing that would have made this tour perfect is if it included the Meiji Shrine.

Sako was an excellent guide. This is a great tour for the money.

I was very disappointed with this tour. I feel it does not showcase the best of Tokyo. The river cruise was not worth the time at all. The best part of this tour was the tea ceremony and the temple. Other than that, I feel it does not highlight the best of the city. Very disappointing.

Every single part of this day tour was great. Our guide Minna san was fantastic, very knowledgeable, nice, and funny. We would've loved to have her as our guide all the time we were in Japan. Arigatou Gozaimasu!!!!

This tour was spectacular! Way more than I expected. I got to see some of the top sights in Tokyo and thoroughly enjoyed the things the guide taught us about Japanese history and culture. The lunch was spectacular and the tea ceremony unforgettable! I highly recommend this tour!

This was a very enjoyable day tour despite it raining for most of that day which did reduce visibility from the Tower!! The highly entertaining Tea Ceremony was in a small building set in beautiful Japanese gardens with a pond full of colourful koi. A special garden feature was several dozen exceptional bonsai trees, just stunning to enjoy. Lunch was a sumptuous Japanese BBQ in a delightful garden restaurant section of a lavish 5 Star hotel. Added bonus was seeing the stunning Japanese couple being photographed after their wedding.

Absolutely amazing. Hotel pick up prompt and all attractions listed in brochure visited. Despite my fear of heights the visit to the Tokyo tower was indeed wonderful. Being able to photograph the tea ceremony gave me memorable photographs as well. The view from the Edo Castle was spectacular despite the 105 steps to the balcony.With my interest maritime the high point of the day was the Sumida River cruise.In terms of history the visit to the Asakusa Kannon temple ticked my Tokyo bucket list. I would highly recommend this day tour to anyone visiting Tokyo as a prelude to further investigate this magnificient city.

This was an amazing tour and far exceeded or expectations. Tour guide, Tomoku, was charming and spoke fluent language. She had many jewels and tidbits of info and was able to answer every question.
