Must visit this restaurant! Ask for Marijo!
We had the most amazing meal in this restaurant.. the service was exceptional from Marijo! This business is so lucky to have members of the team like Marijo as he was so knowledgeable on places to visit and it was obvious that he really enjoyed his job and made our evening experience special and memorable! This restaurant is a must visit in Dubrovnik!

Yuki was a great guide 👍
Yuki was a great guide, after some initial issues with the meeting point we had a lovely day. She arranged all the day around our likes & what we were not going to see later. We saw 2 shrines and a Temple and a famous shopping street for younger people. She also found us a really reasonable GF restaurant (sushi) which had lovely green tea at the table. We were delighted to have someone who knew the area and ordering system to guide us through- and she also gave us some extra hints and tips for using the underground system- which can be quite tricky to navigate at times.

Miscommunications!
Please specify subway station regarding meeting point. Our hotel directed our taxi to the train station when we gave them your meeting point address. Once we FINALLY connected - after much frustration, we had a good tour. We had also messaged you about getting tickets and what time for the Skytree tower. You never responded, so we purchased them for the end of the tour when they were supposed to have been part of our itinerary and purchased by our guide that morning. We did not find that out until we met with our guide. We have been on many Viator Tours, but this was the worst with regards to miscommunications.

Worth every yen! This is a must do tour when in Tokyo!
Asakusa is definitely a Tokyo neighborhood that is worth seeing, but it will be very overwhelming without a guide. Our guide, Haruo, made everything perfect for our group of four adults. It was easy to find him at the subway station. He took us immediately to the Asakusa tourist building which has an observatory to get an aerial view of the the neighborhood. It would be important to meet him on time because he was able to get us up in the observatory before it got too crowded. After, we meandered through the crowded street of shops leading up to the Senso-ji Buddhist Temple. Haruo was patient with us as we stopped in a few shops. He explained some of the local culinary treats, some of the cultural items that were being sold in the shops and more. If there was something that you had a question about, he was happy to answer it. Haruo explained all the interesting facts about the Senso-ji, but most importantly, how to be there in a respectful manner and also explained the important rituals since this is an active Temple. He helped us to purchase pendants for protection and more. We then went to the Shinto Shrine and learned about the religious practices there. After, he took us into an enclosed street that had a variety of shops and games for people to try. We then headed to a part of town to see a street that sells culinary ware. I was looking for a Japanese knife, so we went into a few shops and eventually I purchased a nice one. We went for a wonderful soba noodle lunch overlooking the river and then headed to the Tokyo Skytree. Haruo offered to purchase our tickets in advance (WHICH IS A MUST DO! IT WILL SAVE YOU AN HOUR at least on a busy day!) and explained everything we were seeing. (Also - if you buy a knife, you'll need to lock it up in a locker before heading up the Skytree). Hauro also helped us find our subway platform since the Skytree mall is very large and busy. We had an amazing day and learned so much!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that Haruo made your day in Asakusa smooth, informative, and enjoyable. From beating the crowds at the observatory to guiding you through local shops, traditions, and even helping with your knife purchase, it sounds like you had a rich and memorable experience. We're especially glad his knowledge and care helped you navigate both cultural insights and practical logistics with ease. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope your new knife—and your memories—last a long time!

Macky for Asakusa Tour!
Macky is such a terrific guide. He is polite, kind and very affectionate. He planned a terrific day that took into account your needs. He took us to a great restaurant for lunch. Our trip was made better by having Macky as our host.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your positive review! We're glad to hear that you had a great experience exploring Asakusa with our guide. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees! cost?
+
Prices start at $6967 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 This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees! take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees!?
+
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 This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees!?
+
Around 7 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does This is Asakusa! A Tour Includes the All Must-Sees! 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.
