Exploring Tokyo

Published on May, 2025

It did give a quick overview of central Tokyo. We did have adequate time on our own at the stops. Enjoyed the lunch provided.

Very respectful and helpful bus all staff

Published on May, 2025

I enjoy this tour too much. The translator woman was very knowledgeable and explain everything. This was the best tour in my vacation. I highly recommend.

The Grey Line offers great experences

Published on Apr, 2025

Did 2 different tours with The Grey Line, both were interesting, fun and offered a variety of activities. All guides spoke perfect English and looked after everyone very well. Make sure you book lunch, great showcase of Japanese food.

A Very Complete One Day Tokyo Bus Tour!

Published on Apr, 2025

Exactly what I wanted (i.e. maximized sightseeing during my one day Tokyo visit) - and the guides (there were two of them) spoke very good / easily understandable English. As per the advance tour description we visited the Meiji Jingu Shrine, Tokyo Tower, Hama-Rikyu Gardens, the Asakusa Kannon (Sensoji Buddhist) Temple, and took a Sumida River Cruise; we also passed-by Harajuku, Shibuya Crossing, Roppongi, the Imperial Palace, the National Diet, Ginza, the Tokyo Skytree, Kappabashi Town, and Ueno & Akihabara. There was also a surprisingly good Japanese-style Lunch. It's a long day (especially since I took trains from and back-to Yokohama) but that's necessary to see as much of Tokyo as possible. Highly recommended tour & guides - arigato!

Very good and enjoyable tour.

Published on Apr, 2025

Very good tour. Excellent guides. Very enjoyable lunch. Steady but not too demanding an activity. Well worth taking.
