We had booked this tour quite a while ago before we knew there would be two cruise bus tours of Tokyo. Our driver/guide, John, was great. Very flexible. When we let him know that we had already been to several of the stops he had planned for us, he pivoted to suggest other sites of interest. It was a rainy day, from drizzle to deluge, but we were able to see the beautiful Nezu Shrine, based on the Inari shrine in Kyoto but without the hordes of people. He also stopped for us to take photos of places that you just couldn't get on a moving tour bus (e.g. Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree). He was able to take us to a last minute lunch with friends at Flippers for souffle pancakes, took us to his favorite cheesecake restaurant and his favorite ramen restaurant. Honestly, the ramen was the best I ever ate (Ippudo if you are curious). A fun, easy and safe way to see a fascinating city!
