Asakusa Hanayashiki 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!

It was great to have the option of a Cantonese-speaking driver and tour guide; it made communication so much easier. Our driver and tour guide, Elton, provided thoughtful service and made our day trip enjoyable. The vehicle provided was new and very clean. Highly recommended.

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!

The trip in the boat was wonderful, cozy, delicious and fun. Shera did a great job organizing everything and also interacted with us with quizzes and information through the ride. the vies at night were amazing and i completely recommend this activity, specially with shera in command.

This was a very pleasant trip to Mount Fuji. The weather was great and the tour guide was great. We experienced the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, which was unforgettable. The tour guide was very nice and arranged a reasonable itinerary for us so that we did not miss any beautiful moments!

This fireworks festival experience exceeded all expectations! The fireworks designs were so unique, it was truly romantic and unforgettable! The fact that the entire trip was so perfect is all thanks to our guide, Ashley! Her professionalism and attention to detail deserve high praise! First, she is fluent in four languages, and on the tour bus, she was able to clearly explain all safety precautions, itinerary details, and methods to prevent us from getting lost in different languages, allowing travelers from different backgrounds to fully grasp the information and feel at ease. Secondly, Guide Ashley clearly did a lot of preparation beforehand, and she was extremely familiar with the local routes and event procedures. Not only was the journey smooth, but the return trip was also perfectly timed, perfectly avoiding crowds and traffic jams, allowing us to end the trip with a relaxed and happy mood. Throughout the entire process, she did not forget to take care of everyone, constantly reminding us to pay attention to road vehicles and which side to stand on for safety. This attentiveness is truly rare. In comparison, another accompanying guide seemed a bit unfamiliar with the terrain and arrangements, which made me appreciate Ashley's seriousness and reliability even more. If I really had to mention a small area for improvement, it would be to hope that the parking location could be closer to the venue in the future, so we could walk less. But overall, this was definitely a perfect experience!

Tour guide was organised and clear in his instructions. He gave some tips, suggestions and recommended trails on how to spend the time given for the places visited. We were given 80 min to explore the Hakone jinjja area. Time given was just right if you do not wait in line for the famous photo spot. Atami fireworks were phenomenal. We were given about 3hrs to have our dinner, shop at the Atami Ginza shopping street and watch the fireworks. A great day in Hakone & Atami indeed!

Everything was really great overall. We got to everywhere we wanted/needed to be and the instructions got me where I needed to go. I do wish some of the finer points (like going to the information desk to pick up the tickets instead of just “B1 of Kitte” or a better guide for getting to the bus stop). Otherwise, super helpful to have everything bundled into one when I can’t buy tickets from the website directly.
