We only had 4 hours but we got a lot in. First we walked along the moat of the palace to view the cherry blossom and then onto Shibuya to go to the crossing and then onto the Meiji shrine. It was great to have a local guide as we had to go by trains and subway which was really good. Taku was a great guide I would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for joining my tour and giving me an excellent rating and review. I’m very happy you enjoyed cherry blossoms and the places we visited. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan! Taku
We (Swiss family of 4) had a wonderful day in Tokyo. Taku adapted the program to our wishes. He explained us a lot about Japanese culture and we saw many interesting places. He also chose an excellent sushi restaurant for us. Because it was so hot today with 38 degrees, we also made an ice cream break. Thank you very much Taku. We can highly recommend Taku as a guide.
Dear Madeleine, thank you very much for your posting excellent rating and HOT comments for my tour! Yes, it was too hot, but I’m happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed today. I hope the rest of your stay in Japan will be fruitful. Taku
Taku was our friendly guide for 6 hours dedicated mostly to cherry blossom viewing in late March around Tokyo. He was knowledgeable and devised a great plan that was great for the viewing while avoiding the crowds. He was flexible and open to our suggestions and adapted perfectly to our particular needs (i.e., avoiding subway stations stairs as much as possible). We also saw some neighborhoods that I had not visited before, as well as a beautifully laid out cemetery and a formal garden. You cannot go wrong with Taku as your guide and he comes highly recommended ! Please hire him through gowithguide.com
