Imperial Palace tours

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 joined a 3 hour bike tour with Rinto and had a very enjoyable experience. The route showcased beautiful areas around Minato, Tokyo, and Shibuya, places that are often overlooked when traveling by train or car. Exploring the city by bike made it easier to feel the atmosphere and truly appreciate the surroundings. The tour was definitely worth the price. The experience was both fun and engaging, especially for travelers who enjoy discovering a city in a more active and immersive way. A few small improvements could make the tour even better. Gentle reminders about biking safely and being aware of pedestrians would be helpful in busy areas. Providing helmets and basic safety gear could also add comfort. At times the tour guide was a bit fast, so a slightly slower pace would help guest keep up. Overall, it was a great tour and a unique way to explore Tokyo.

The tour was ok but really a lot of walks and the tour guides unknowingly walks very fast that the tourist wasn’t able to appreciate much the places they have walked on going to the itineraries. A bit slower walking pace will make a lot of difference. Tour Guide Jorge and Fran are very knowledgeable and they explain very well. They are very commendable..

What an Amazing and Fun day around the city with Zeeshan. The carseat was included!!! Yey. We traveled with 5 people, 2 little kids (5 and 2). What a smooth day with our driver. He was such an accommodating and kind driver. The itinerary changed a lot tailored to what we needed at the moment and where we wanted to go. At first, we had a set itinerary but because we stayed at one place too long it was okay with our driver. Zeeshan always had a smile on his face, even if it was such a long day.

we had a small group tour of the Imperial gardens with Keiko and she did an excellent job of explaining the history of the palace and feudal Japan, and also included some personal stories of her family. The gardens are beautiful and the history is amazing!

Our group had an great time and experience with this short tour! We had signed up the day prior, but had no issues at all. It was a small tour group of 6 people. Our tour guide, Nonoka provided fun knowledge and historical facts about Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace area throughout the time! Her English was very good and clear. In addition, we were given a digital QR code for a self English guide for the East Imperial Garden, which we were brought to the entrance of for the last tour location on the itinerary. Overall, I highly recommend!!!

We had two great Tourguides, but unfortunately we forgot their names. It was a great mixture of Sightseeing with Background information and the itself to drive around with some locals. We Had a really nice talk with each other and of course learned something about the city and the buildings. We booked the night ride and we can recommend it. We started at the Yoyogi Park at the clock tower and had a nice ride through the city trough the most famous places like Shibuya and to the Tokyo Tower etc. We ended at the Tokyo Station. And the time was perfect. It began at 17:45 till 19:45/20:00. After that we had enough time to have dinner. Our guides told us that the tour in the evening is less booked, so it often happens that there are not many people in your group. We we're two people so we had kind of a private tour, which are was really nice. Maybe the owners can write the name of the two guides, because they did a really good job. We had our evening tour at the 27th september 2025.

We had a fantastic day with Robert as our guide. He had a well planned day, with a copy of the itinerary for all four of us, which made the kids feel included. Robert was very informative, explaining each area we visited with great local insights. The tour ran on time, with an easy meet up location right near our local accommodation. A highly recommended tour.
