Toni was a wonderful driver/guide during our half day trip in Tokyo. I would do it again or a longer day trip if they have that chance again. I was with my wife and her mom. They both also enjoyed it.

Tony was an exceptional guide for the day. We had planned and booked for a specific day. Tony contacted us a couple of days before and told us the weather was not going to be great but was willing to take us a day earlier when the weather and viewing would be much better. I can't say I have ever had that happen! He picked us up in a very comfortable vehicle which made the day's travel very easy. The itinerary he planned gave us views of the mountain from pretty much all sides and from places not nearly as many people go to. His insight about the area and the history was tremendous and added greatly to the day. We really could not have asked for anything more in a tour like this and I would not hesitate to recommend him fully to anyone

My husband and 2 sons (ages 11 and 13) loved our virtual tour of Tokyo. Nino was a fantastic guide and filled the hour with historical, cultural and fun facts! She was able to keep all of us at all ages engaged. It was a welcome diversion for this time of no-travel and very few experiences in the world because of the pandemic. We all can't wait to book our trip when the time allows!

At the end of a month long cruise to China and Japan, we had 1 full day in Tokyo to see as much as possible. Mr Oriol was our guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable, providing information about Tokyo's history, culture and sites to see. The day was quite flexible and at our own pace. There was no expectation that we would hurry through each destination. At some sites Mr Oriol accompanied us, at others he waited patiently for us to finish. He joined us for lunch and guided our choice from the menu. We were delighted with Tokyo Grand Tours and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a chauffeured personal tour of Tokyo. Guy readily communicated with us prior to our arrival in Tokyo and our 'pick-up' was problem free. Mr Oriol was always courteous and enthusiastic. Great value for money.

Felt like we were with an old friend. Naomi was very kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. It was a very rainy day and she adjusted the program so that we could have a lovely day. Kamakura is a beautiful town with lots of rich history. We also loved enoden tram ride went through the town. We felt like we were with an old friend on this tour and it made it so enjoyable.so much to see! We will be doing this tour again when my family comes into town. Great tour, great tour guide and beautiful city. Naomi was the best!!!
