Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden tours

We accidentally booked our tour the Tuesday after a holiday so some of the stops on the original itinerary were unexpectedly closed, but our guide Jeff still showed us around the area and took us to some alternative spots instead. Since it was just us on the tour today he also personalized it to things we were interested in in the area! He shared a lot of his knowledge from his experience living here, and gave us a lot of great personalized recommendations beyond the tour. Appreciated the effort he took to show us around outside of the original tour plan!

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!

Our Mount Fuji guide made the whole experience smooth, fun, and unforgettable. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient throughout the trip. We learned so much about the area while enjoying the beautiful views without any stress. The guide was well organized, punctual, and always made sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mount Fuji!”

Had the best time! They gave us a free shot of sake & some free tea/mochi at the end. Staff was friendly & the entertainers did an amazing job. We for sure recommend!

I would recommend this tour. It was very informative through the beautiful grounds of the palace, doused in the history of this amazing country. There was plenty of time to take photos and explore. Our guide was amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour.

Our guide, Kaori, is incredibly talented with languages! She can perfectly free-talk in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, so communication was absolutely seamless! When we visited the park, lake, and Lawson, she explained beforehand what was famous and where everything was, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without any confusion. She also mentioned that the shrine had about 80 steps to the first observatory and then around 380 or 390 steps from the first to the second observatory. My mother had knee surgery, so our family couldn't visit the shrine and opted to go to a cafe instead. Kaori readily agreed and just asked us to return on time. So, we enjoyed a relaxing time at a cafe with a wonderful view of Mount Fuji before returning. Although it was a shame not to see Mount Fuji from the shrine, it was great to spend a comfortable time with my family. I highly recommend her to everyone; the lack of communication issues is a huge advantage! She even opened an open KakaoTalk chat, so we didn't need to install Line or any other apps!

Samurai Restaurant is the successor to Robot Restaurant and is located in the same place. The show is still loud, crazy, and a must-see for tourists (it's also specifically designed for them). IMPORTANT: Food, drinks, and souvenirs can only be paid for in cash (this way, no one has to worry about being overcharged).

Great choice for a tour in the busiest city of Japan. Accommodating and friendly guide, Blake. Pace was comfortable and historical tidbits now and then much appreciated. Thanks, Klook and Godspeed, Blake!
