Review for: Akihabara Otaku Culture Half-day Tour

Firas was truly the best tour guide I ever had. A personalized service that adapted to my needs. Besides seeing the typical tourist things he guided to hidden gems/spots that an average guide wouldn’t show you. With him I learned all about Japanese culture, tradition and gastronomy. We even had lunch in a Ramen Michelin! The cycling activity was amazing, visiting Ultraman’s neighborhood, Godzilla Studios (Toho studios), temples… I lived the life of a real habitant of Tokyo, going through their streets and seeing their daily activities (locals don’t live on the center of the city), cycling all the streets of the locals das amazing. Because I like manga and anime, the last part of the tour was on Akihabara, where we went to spots that tourists wouldn’t find, cards, figures, t-shirts… It was truly one of the best days of my life. Firas, thank you for showing me all the stamp spots and becoming a friend!!

We had a wonderful day exploring! Florencia was from South America, but knew so much about Japan! She accomodated our schedule based on what we wanted to see and our interests. She also gave us a great recommendation for Raman and took us to the Pokémon store in Sunshine City! Fun day out!

Review for: 아키하바라 오타쿠 그룹 투어

I booked and paid for the guide tour today, it's past 12 o'clock in acceleration time, but the guide didn't come. I feel very bad because I feel like I've been scammed. I strongly demand an apology and a refund. I contacted the customer center of the Korean number, but I can't connect.
