Our guests love exploring Tokyo with us!
Tokyo from the sky is fantastic!
We decided to take a helicopter ride over Tokyo at the beginning of our journey to Japan, and it was the perfect way to start our trip. Everything was very professional, with excellent organization from start to finish. We chose the 30-minute evening tour and flew over illuminated Tokyo Bay and Shinjuku. Seeing Tokyo Tower and Skytree from the air was very special. Great value for money, highly recommended.
The bike tour was fun!
The Tokyo bike tour was so much fun. I went with friends, and we enjoyed every moment. Our guide was friendly and made the whole ride easy and relaxed. We saw many interesting attractions: a temple, a palace, Tokyo Station, and beautiful Hibiya Park. We stopped for photos at every turn and really felt like locals exploring the city. I love cycling, so this tour was one of my highlights in Tokyo. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys biking and wants a fun way to see the city.
Worth taking the Tokyo private tour!
Our private Tokyo city tour was such a great experience. It felt way better than being in a big group. We told our guide, Yuki, the places we wanted to see, and she added a few of her own ideas that turned out perfect. She put together a route that mixed old Tokyo with the modern side of the city. We loved Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya Crossing totally impressed us with its size and energy. Yuki took lots of family photos for us and gave us great tips on where to eat and shop. Totally worth the money. We’d do it again for sure.

PRO TIP
When you sit down at an Izakaya (a traditional Japanese pub/tavern), the waiter will immediately bring you a tiny, mandatory appetizer (like a small bowl of edamame or potato salad). This is not free. It is called Otoshi and serves as a table cover charge. Don’t try to send it back; it is a standard cultural practice built into the evening dining experience.

Tokyo Hop-on Hop-off Bus
Panoramic city views from an open-top bus
The Tokyo Hop-On Hop-Off Tour is one of the most popular ways to explore the city, and it’s easy to see why. The open-top sightseeing bus takes you straight to Tokyo’s biggest highlights. You will see Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Tokyo Tower, and Tokyo Skytree, all without the stress of navigating trains. You can hop off whenever something catches your eye, wander around at your own pace, and then hop back on the next bus.
The tour also includes an audio guide in multiple languages and three routes that cover Tokyo’s most famous areas. You will explore the modern energy of Shinjuku and Shibuya and see the classic landmarks like Tokyo Tower. Visitors love it because it’s simple, flexible, and fun, with panoramic views from the upper deck and plenty of chances to take great photos. It’s the perfect way to see a lot of Tokyo in a short time.
Tokyo Imperial Palace Tour
Explore Tokyo’s royal past
The Tokyo Imperial Palace Tour is a great choice for anyone who wants to see a quieter and more historic side of the city. Instead of busy streets and bright lights, you walk through a wide lawn. Discover old stone gates and peaceful gardens that once belonged to one of the most powerful samurai families in Japan. Your guide will share interesting stories about how Edo Castle became the home of the imperial family. You will find out why the double-arched Nijubashi Bridge is so famous, and what traditions still take place on the palace grounds today.
You’ll hear stories about shoguns, emperors, and life inside the castle, and you’ll have plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. Visitors love this tour because it’s calm and beautiful. It’s a refreshing break from Tokyo’s fast pace, and a must-do experience.
Tokyo Bike Tour
The best of the city on two wheels
Discover Tokyo’s famous sights and quieter corners on a guided bike tour. Whether you choose a private or small-group ride, it’s an easy way to see both the traditional and modern sides of the city. You’ll explore central Tokyo on a cross bike or e-bike, following an English-speaking guide who shares simple stories and local tips. Along the way, you’ll pass temples, modern buildings, riverside paths, parks, and busy local streets.
There are plenty of photo stops, so you can capture great shots of each place you visit. You’ll also cycle past Shibuya Crossing, famous for the huge crowds crossing in every direction. It’s a fun place to mix with locals and feel the city’s energy. You’ll visit spots that most tourists never find. A Tokyo bike tour is a safe, fun, and refreshing way to see the city.
PRO TIP
One of the biggest surprises for the Tokyo first-time visitors is the absolute lack of public benches, parks with seating, or walls to sit on along sidewalks. If you need a break, do what the locals do: duck into the top floors of a major department store (where you will find quiet rest lounges next to the restrooms) or buy a cheap green tea at a cafe just to use their seating.
