Fantastic Private Driver and Guide

Our driver Ali was a fantastic driver and guide. He promptly picked us up at our hotel and was extremely friendly, polite and knowledgeable. His vehicle was clean and spacious and provided plenty of space for our group of four. Some of the planned itinerary we had visited the day before with our main tour group. Ali took us to the locations on his itinerary we hadn't visited yet, and didn't hesitate to customize our tour and take us anywhere we mentioned we would like to try and go see. Ali walked us to the entrance of all the tourist attractions and waited for us at the exit when we were finished. On other attractions, like the fish market, he stayed with us the entire time. Tokyo is an amazingly vast and complex city. The amount of driving Ali provided for us was astonishing. Even in locations with difficult parking where he needed to stay with the vehicle, he still walked us as far as he could and made sure we knew where we were going and how to get back to the car. At no point during the day did we ever feel rushed. It was a fantastic day and there wasn't a single complaint from anyone in the group. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo.
