What a great tour around Asakusa! Thank you Shun for being such a great tour guide!! Highly recommend we had a fun time, learned some things got to shop around in different areas and try a few snacks and enjoy a sake sampling… can’t go wrong with that!
This is a great tour, not only of the Temple but also the surrounding area. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. We learned about the temple, got some great photographs and tried a few delicious snacks. It was a great way to spend our first day in Tokyo.
Best !! Very helpful and kind. Very knowledgeable, gave history of the place during the tour. Good places to go eat
Shun was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, who gave us great insight into the culture and history of Asakusa and the stops on our tour. We learned so many things that we would not have known if we had toured on our own. Shun was also great at accommodating the different ages in our group and our teenagers. We loved the main points but also the matcha gelato and kitchen town. Exceptional tour, highly recommend.
Shun was great! Personalized the tour and provided a lot of time for exploring shops. Very friendly guide.
Great way of exploring Asakusa! Kana was very friendly and accommodating even in the rainy weather
