Michelle was a wonderful tour guide and really let us take our time at the locations and go at our own pace! I highly recommend her and she gave a wonderful tour of senso-ji temple, ueno park, and the koishikawa korakuen gardens.

Had a fabulous tour guided by Andrew during our stay in Tokyo. Andrew was super knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and know how to tailor the tour to your liking - ie - more sightseeing versus history. There was such a good balance and he also gave us great recommendations for Ramen lunch and other great places to eat. It didn't hurt that Sakura season was a little delayed so everything was in bloom during our stay, The only thing I would change would be to have had him with us the entire trip! - Great job Andrew and hope to see you next time we visit.
