Tokyo VIP tour
Maeto-san was a great guide and took very good care of us, Skytree was an amazing view of Tokyo and lets you appreciate the true vastness of all of Tokyo. Very pleasant day and the sashimi lunch Maeto-san recommended was delicious.
Response from the operator: Rick-san Thank you very much for your high rating and review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sashimi lunch. Receiving high praise for not only the tourist facilities but also the specially arranged restaurants and VIP services means a lot to us. Please feel free to contact us anytime you plan to visit Japan again. We look forward to sharing another safe and enjoyable time with you. Best regards, Moeto

The Perfect Way to See Tokyo
This was the best way to see Tokyo! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and fluent in both English and Japanese. Our driver Mr. T dropped us off in front of each location saving us a lot of extra walking. We had done a lot of touring on our own the day before so our guide had to adjust his plans with new places for us to see and he didn’t disappoint!! We loved going to typical places like Asakusa Sensoji Temple, Skytree and then more unique places like Shinkansen Bonsai Garden where we met Bonsai Master Kunio Kobayashi…a truly unique experience! Highly recommend Christopher Newton as a guide…he provided the perfect mix of history, fun facts, and cultural insights!
Response from the operator: Kathleen San! Thank you for the sweet message and review. I hope you guys had a great time in Japan. I'm also so glad that you got to see you grandson, Andrew, that resides here in Japan now as a student and you were able to reunite with him on this side of the world! So happy you were able to enjoy this trip and we thank you so much for choosing us to be your guide in Japan and you are always welcome back anytime you want! Thanks again and soyonara for now!!!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP cost?
+
Prices start at $1380 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Custom Tokyo Tour VIP start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
