Tokyo Imperial Palace and Edo castle Historical Guided Walking Tour

Brendan was really great! I saw his tour yesterday, and I’m at the Edo-Tokyo Museum today and so much makes more sense after having done his tour of the Imperial Palace. The explanations in the museum are a bit dry and dense with facts, and I don’t have a lot of connection to annecdotes which help me remember what happened and why. Brendan’s tour really helped fill in some of that for me, and provided me a much better context. I’d recommend to anyone — do his tour first, before the museum, for greater understanding!

I would recommend this tour. It was very informative through the beautiful grounds of the palace, doused in the history of this amazing country. There was plenty of time to take photos and explore. Our guide was amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour.

Great choice for a tour in the busiest city of Japan. Accommodating and friendly guide, Blake. Pace was comfortable and historical tidbits now and then much appreciated. Thanks, Klook and Godspeed, Blake!

Very Interesting walk in a vast park-like oasis of roughly 1.15 square kilometers . Our guide named Brandon a very pleasant guy which in University studied history knew a lot of interesting things about this place .

Tony was a wonderful guide, and his way of relating the history of the Imperial family, the shogunate, and the grounds and dynamics of the palace grounds and district, with how they relate to modern day Japan, was interesting and engaging. Would recommend this tour to my friends!

the guide Brendan was really kind and gave us a lot of interesting information about de history of the Palace and the gardens. only the gardens are open for visitors but it was a nice and interesting walk. . it was a really nice visit and a very good guide. highly recommended.

This is a simply delightful and incredibly educational tour that you must go on, should you find yourself in Tokyo. Not only are the gardens absolutely beautiful, but it felt truly amazing knowing that you were standing somewhere with such rich and broad history. Especially given that it was once the home of the last Shogunate of Japan. Our guide, Sneha was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the grounds, gardens and their history. The meeting place was very easy to find, and the walk was incredibly scenic! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful walking tour led by our guide Dylan. He knows the history of the Inperial garden very well and was thorough when explaining all the details to our tour group. Dylan is also funny and take great care to make sure everyone could keep up with the tour pace. The meeting spot at Starbucks is easy to find an close to subway station. I highly recommend this tour to those visiting Toyko!

It was a lovely tour. Our tour guide gave us a lot of information and trivia on the area and a bit of Japanese history and culture. Expect that there will be a lot of walking and hiking so please wear comfortable shoes and clothes. We had the tour last week of November. The weather and the autumn leaves were perfect during our visit.

Miguel did and excellent job providing interesting details in the aritecture, the difference in the roles and people who ended up shaping much of the culture, and related it back to current culture. The samurai garden, architecture, and the stories were an excellent start to my trip and I appreciated how friendly and open to questions our guide was. If your interested in a low key but fun way to start the day, I'd highly recommend it!
