Sumida Park tours

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!

ricky was very professional and we had a nice time. we felt the two hours tour was very short because of the interesting places we went too. ibhighly recommend Ricky to anyone taking this tour. itvwas enjoyable and memorable first day in Japan for us.

Joe our tour guide was so knowledgeable and very friendly. i recommend a tour with Joe is a great start for tourists first time to Japan. Joe made everything easy, which made our market experience fun. No stress. Thanx Joe!

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!

Nick did a great job. We messed up our timing but he handled it like a champ. He showed flexibility and effort, this led to us having a great time. Nick had a lot of knowledge and could answer even far fetched questions. From our perspectiv the price was too low, give this man a raise!

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!

Really enjoyed the Tokyo City Sightseeing Tour Bus! It was an easy and fun way to see many famous places around Tokyo. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the staff were kind and helpful. The audio guide was also interesting and easy to understand. We got the 18:50 timeslot and were able to experience sunset. Great experience overall — I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo!

First and foremost, I want to express my respect and gratitude to our guide, "DAI," who led us and provided a wonderful private tour, despite our limited Japanese and English skills. We initially thought it would be a group tour, so we went without much expectation, simply hoping to enjoy the sights. However, due to the hot weather, the other team didn't show up, and it unexpectedly turned into a private tour. We were a bit flustered by the language barrier, as the guide kept explaining things, but we were deeply touched by his kind and detailed explanations, which he patiently provided as we diligently tried to understand using a translator. Thanks to him, we were so engrossed and enjoyed the tour so much that the two hours flew by, creating a memory we'll cherish forever. DAI is incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese history and possesses a great sense of duty. He also took fantastic photos for us and recommended local restaurants and attractions. Meeting him was truly a stroke of luck. Thank you once again. -Choi Hong-man

Listening to Mr. Yang's explanations was truly a rare cultural feast. As a senior guide, he is exceptionally knowledgeable, with deep research into cultural relics, history, and culture around the world. He draws upon a vast array of facts effortlessly, presenting them in an organized manner enriched by classic allusions, making obscure history vivid and easy to understand. Mr. Yang is always brimming with energy, witty, and humorous, expertly engaging everyone with lively and interesting language. Even more admirable is his rigorous dedication, treating every single artifact and historical period with meticulous care. Following him on this tour not only provided a wealth of knowledge, but also deeply infected us with his passion for museum and heritage work, making us genuinely appreciate such an outstanding teacher! Next time I visit a similar museum, I will first check if Mr. Yang is guiding there. After listening to his explanations, it feels as though the artifacts are revealed in countless dimensions, making the experience immensely rich.
