Visita guiada històrica a peu pel Palau Imperial de Tòquio i el castell d'Edo

We had a group of 15 people. I thought this was a little much as not everyone can easily hear the banter in between the information spots and not everyone has the same walking pace. Our guide Giulia did amazing though. She spoke loud enough for everyone to hear and patiently waited for everyone to gather around. It was clear she was very knowledgeable on the edo period, the palace grounds, shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and emperor Meji. The palace grounds are grand, but I think not as easy to manoeuvre for someone less able bodied. Be wary that you will have some steep inclines inside the walls. I particularly found the checkpoints, the edo castle ruins and the Japanese garden (which we could explore ourself after the tour) impressive. Giulia had a beautiful way of making me feel immersed and able to imagine what it would be like to enter the palace in the edo period. If you'd like more information about the imperial palace or the rulers of the time, I recommend taking the tour yourself!

Tour offers some very good point of interest for the Imperial Palace, due to security reason, you cannot actually visit the Imperial family's living quarters, but the garden and surrounding already offers huge historical interests. Our guide, Yuki has been great, giving enough historical facts, but not too much that drowns you; which leads you to research more into these facts.

our tour guide today was Christian. he is very knowledgeable and able to answers all the questions satisfactorily. he is friendly and very patient. we had and amazing time learning about Japan history and culture. 💯 recommended!

Recomanaria aquesta visita. Va ser molt informativa a través dels bells jardins del palau, immersa en la història d'aquest país sorprenent. Hi va haver molt de temps per fer fotos i explorar. El nostre guia va ser increïble. Moltes gràcies per una visita meravellosa.

Our tour guide Giujlia was amazing and so much fun! She provided such amazing insight to the sights and their history. Was able to learn so much more about the Palace than I would walking on my own.

I highly recommend taking this tour! on a scale from 1-10 on the physical difficulty level it was a 2 even in the rain and wearing a kimono! Rucha was very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor so tour was fun and interesting. there was an older lady who required two canes and Rucha made sure to take breaks and keep a pace that allowed her to keep up.

Estic molt content d'haver contractat aquesta excursió en lloc de fer-la pel nostre compte. Ens ho vam passar molt bé amb en Ma com a guia. Va ser informatiu i agradable, fins i tot ens va ajudar a fer-nos fotos i ens va assenyalar els millors llocs per fer fotografies durant el recorregut. La història, el context i els detalls que va aportar van ajudar a fer que l'experiència fos més immersiva. Hi ha una història molt rica lligada a l'arquitectura i al recinte que realment vam arribar a valorar gràcies a la visita. Gràcies, Ma!

En Brendan va ser fantàstic! Vaig fer el seu tour ahir, i avui sóc al Museu Edo-Tòquio i moltes coses tenen més sentit després d'haver fet el seu tour pel Palau Imperial. Les explicacions del museu són una mica seques i denses en fets, i no tinc molta connexió amb les anècdotes que m'ajuden a recordar què va passar i per què. El tour d'en Brendan em va ajudar molt a omplir aquest buit i em va proporcionar un context molt millor. El recomanaria a qualsevol: feu el seu tour primer, abans del museu, per a una millor comprensió!

Va ser un recorregut encantador. El nostre guia turístic ens va donar molta informació i curiositats sobre la zona i una mica d'història i cultura japonesa. Espereu que hi haurà molta caminada i senderisme, així que si us plau, porteu sabates i roba còmodes. Vam fer el recorregut l'última setmana de novembre. El temps i les fulles de tardor van ser perfectes durant la nostra visita.

Va ser una manera fantàstica de passar el meu primer matí a Tòquio! Malthe (el nostre guia) tenia molts coneixements mentre caminàvem pels jardins del palau, i va respondre les nostres preguntes amb facilitat. També va ser molt pacient mentre ens preníem el temps per fer fotos al magnífic jardí.
