Ack did a great job showing us many of the best areas to see to a tourist new to Tokyo. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with and we couldn’t ask for a better city tour. He is also very well travelled as his career involved global travel when he worked for Toyota . Our time and money very well spent. Thank you ack!

Akio-san provided an excellent view, history and insight into contemporary urban Tokyo. We visited Meiji jinju and many areas around Shibuya. We ended at a great ramen place I'd very likely have missed on my own. He was even patient enough to let me attempt speaking (and reading) my poor Japanese! Thanks, Ack!

My family & I gad a wonderful time on the walking tour. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the area. He was also very accommodating and patient as we strolled through the different areas. Explaining much about the history and how Tokyo has adapted. He was exceptionally helpful, navigating the subway system, which is very complicated for foreigners. Overall, we had a great experience!!
