This was great! - I fully enjoyed this experience. Our tour guide Sota did a great job of showing us some cool spots in Akihabara and also helped us buy things. It made the experience very easy for an English speaker and I would fully recommend it.

Unforgettable trip in Akihabara - Soda did a great job in guiding us through a forest of animation. And I really appreciate him asking questions for us in different stores and we got all we wanted to buy. He is extremely pleasant to talk to. And our casual chat made the tour more than just shopping, it was truly experiencing! Strongly recommend the tour!

Great walking tour for adults and teens into anime and gaming. - Iku was our guide and she was very accommodating to a couple of teens that wanted to shop and play games. Gave us many options to choose from and easily navigated us through the crowds. The Maid Cafe on the tour was impeccable - go with the combo for picture. You do have to pay for the table by the hour plus any drinks/snacks you get. You can’t take picture of the staff but can purchase. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend. The tour was great to get you familiar with areas and then we went back and shopped more. Iku was fantastic and would highly recommend.

Anime Wonderland - My 19 year old son who is in college and a computer science and japanese major got the full scope of Ahikabara with Sam our tour guide. Sam was able to show my son the best places to go for his interest. If we hadn’t signed up for the very reasonable tour we would be running around like chickens with no heads trying to find these place and waisting precious time. Now my son can go back anytime and know where to go. Also, Sam’s English is excellent and he is very patient. Thank you Sam, Mary and Taylor California, USA

Glad we did it! Such an interesting side of Japan. - We were glad we went on this tour, although we expected more lecture on the subject and the industry. Adding a cosplay stop would have been interesting too. But we never would have seen what we did on our own and our guide was nice. Yet, he had a cold so I hope we didn't catch it.
