Tours de Sumida Park

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!

En Ricky va ser molt professional i vam passar una estona agradable. Vam trobar que el tour de dues hores va ser molt curt a causa dels llocs tan interessants que vam visitar. Recomano molt en Ricky a qualsevol que faci aquest tour. Va ser un primer dia al Japó molt agradable i memorable per a nosaltres.

We absolutely enjoyed our private group tour with Fantasy Tours at the Imperial Palace/East Gardens! It is beautiful, historical and very interesting. Our guide, Masa, was friendly and knowledgeable, and speaks English clearly (which was helpful, since none of us speak Japanese). We saw other tour groups with 20+ people, and appreciated our private, small group (6 people). We were able to easily hear and ask questions. He also gave us many options to stop for photos, and even took photos of our entire group together, which was so nice! We definitely recommend this tour!

Joe, el nostre guia turístic, era molt ben informat i molt amable. Recomano un tour amb Joe com un gran començament per als turistes que visiten el Japó per primera vegada. Joe va fer que tot fos fàcil, la qual cosa va fer que la nostra experiència al mercat fos divertida. Sense estrès. Gràcies, Joe!

En Nick va fer una gran feina. Ens vam equivocar amb el nostre horari, però ell ho va gestionar com un campió. Va mostrar flexibilitat i esforç, cosa que va fer que ens ho passéssim molt bé. En Nick tenia molts coneixements i podia respondre fins i tot preguntes rebuscades. Des de la nostra perspectiva, el preu era massa baix, pugin-li el sou a aquest home!

Midori was an amazing guide! 5/5 stars and is a definite must for anyone visiting Tokyo. One of my favourite experiences so far. She was very informative and made the experience very enjoyable. It was great to meet a real life Geisha and learn all about her life and see traditional dances and play traditional games. Midori also took photos for us so we didn’t have to worry about that and could enjoy the whole experience in real time!

Honestly this tour was great! We went to the 10am tour, I would go earlier if you can to the 8am tour before it gets super congested. lots of food portion wise, so go hungry

Vaig gaudir molt del bus turístic Tokyo City Sightseeing! Va ser una manera fàcil i divertida de veure molts llocs famosos de Tòquio. L'autobús era net i còmode, i el personal era amable i servicial. L'audioguia també era interessant i fàcil d'entendre. Vam agafar la franja horària de les 18:50 i vam poder gaudir de la posta de sol. Una gran experiència en general, sens dubte la recomanaria a qualsevol que visiti Tòquio!

Primer de tot, vull expressar el meu respecte i agraïment al guia "DAI" per haver-nos acompanyat i haver-nos ofert un meravellós tour privat, tot i que gairebé no parlem japonès ni anglès! Encara que no enteníem bé l'idioma, vam pensar que, com que era un tour en grup, podríem anar-hi sense preocupacions i gaudir de les vistes. Però, a causa de la calor, l'equip que havia de venir amb nosaltres no va aparèixer, i de sobte es va convertir en un tour privat. Em vaig sentir una mica incòmode per la barrera lingüística, ja que el guia continuava explicant coses, però em va emocionar la seva amabilitat i les seves explicacions detallades, ja que ens vam esforçar per entendre-ho amb un traductor. Gràcies a ell, vam gaudir de la visita amb tanta concentració que ni ens vam adonar de com van passar les dues hores, i serà un record inoblidable per a tota la vida. El senyor DAI té un coneixement molt profund de la història japonesa i un gran sentit de la missió. També ens va fer fotos fantàstiques i ens va recomanar restaurants i llocs d'interès propers. Va ser una gran sort haver-lo conegut. Moltes gràcies de nou. -Choi Hong-man Choke-
