10/10 would Recommend! - If you’re thinking about booking this do it! Totally worth it. I booked this tour specifically for my parents and because my father has a bit of trouble walking long distances. My parents were only in town for the weekend and this was a great way to get to see a lot of the must see locations without the hassle of navigating the subway system.
Zee was easy going and flexible which we appreciated. We were able to tailor how long we wanted to stay at places and he recommended places to eat at the locations that we were visiting instead of having a set restaurant we had to eat at. He also was knowledgeable about the historical facts of the sites we visited. Which my Dad and boyfriend loved. Zee not only had a good grasp of the English language but Japanese as well.
The car was a good size, air conditioned, clean and comfortable for our party of 4. Zee was great at navigating the streets and making sure we knew where we needed to meet him.
Overall it was an amazing experience! Thanks again Zee! Will book again next time we are in Japan.
Pro tips:
Save your appetite for Tsukiji fish market and ask to go there first for breakfast. If you want to go up the Tokyo Sky tree or inside the imperial palace you need to make your own bookings. Same day bookings are close to impossible. Download WhatsApp if you are from overseas so you can easily communicate with your tour guide to figure out logistics for pick up.
