Tim took me to a wonderful drive, meeting many great cars and owners. The scenary is nice and I had a great evening
Thank you so much for the great review! I had an absolute blast driving around Tokyo with you. Connecting with the local owners at Daikoku PA is exactly what JDM culture is all about, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the scenery. You are welcome back in the passenger seat anytime!
Got this tour mainly for my husband who is a massive car and drifting enthusiast - so this is his review as well. Tim was very professional and super knowledgeable. Not only about the cars we were driving and talking about, but also about Japan and its culture in general. He showed up early for the pick up, and took us on a tour all across Tokyo while pointing out landmarks and interesting sights to see. At Daikoku parking area, there were lots of cool cars, cars we don't get or see often in the USA, and compared the differences on what we did see. Also went to APIT AUTOBACS and was able to buy gifts for friends and family! He was super flexible and did the drop off where we needed to be later that night. Tim was very accommodating and kind. Highly recommend his tours - 5 stars!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I’m really happy you enjoyed the experience. It was great sharing the cars, Tokyo’s sights, and a bit of Japanese culture along the way. I’m glad Daikoku delivered some interesting cars, and that A PIT AUTOBACS was a worthwhile stop. Thanks again for joining the tour, and I hope to see you back in Japan someday!
Super recommended experience, Tim made both my sister and I feel super comfortable and safe, he told us very interesting data during the route, he gave us conversation, he allowed us to choose the music during the journey, the car was flawless, everything of 10, nothing bad to say, if I return to Japan I would not hesitate to choose this experience again, thank you so much for everything Tim
Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m really happy that you and your sister enjoyed the experience and felt comfortable throughout the evening. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I hope to see you again on your next trip to Japan!
The experience was truly amazing. Seeing so many different aspects and angles of toyko and the car meet itself was absolutely amazing. Tim our driver gave excellent information about japans history. Would heavily recommend.
I’m so glad you had a great time! Seeing different sides of Tokyo and the car meet is always special. Thanks again for joining, and for the recommendation.
Tim was great! Very friendly and accommodating. Lots of epic cars, even on a Monday. Ride is a nice BMW, driven safely the whole time. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the drive and the car spotting — even Mondays can deliver at Daikoku. It was great having you along!
Tim was an amazing guide who knows Japan inside and out and made the whole night feel relaxed from start to finish. Driving the Wangan Expressway at night was great, and stopping at Daikoku PA to see so many iconic cars was a lot of fun. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time for photos and car spotting. Ending the night at Tokyo Tower was the perfect way to finish. Definitely recommend it for car lovers and anyone wanting to experience Tokyo at night in a unique way.
Thanks, James, I’m glad you enjoyed the night drive. The Wangan Expressway, Daikoku PA, and finishing at Tokyo Tower always make for a special night.
