What you'll see and do
Tsukiji Fish Market
Origin. The land on which the fish market sat was created during the Edo period by the Tokugawa shogunate after the Great fire of Meireki of 1657. It was created through land reclamation on the Tokyo Bay, and the area was therefore named Tsukiji (築地), meaning "constructed land" or "reclaimed land".

Senso-ji Temple
A temple steeped in history and lore Legend has it that in 628 AD, fishermen found a statue of Kannon in the Sumida River, and Sensoji Temple was built to enshrine it. Throughout its long history, the Main Hall has been destroyed countless times and rebuilt from the donations of people from all over Japan.

Imperial Palace
Edo Castle turned Imperial Palace For over 250 years, Japan was ruled by the Tokugawa shogun during what was known as the Edo Period – Edo being the old name for Tokyo. The current Imperial Palace, known as Kokyo in Japanese, sits on the former site of Edo Castle.

Meiji Shrine Imperial Garden
Constructed in 1920, the shrine was destroyed in WWII air raids and rebuilt in 1958; however, unlike so many of Japan's postwar reconstructions, Meiji-jingū has atmosphere in spades. Note that the shrine is currently undergoing renovations bit by bit in preparation for its 100th anniversary, but will remain open.

Tokyo Skytree
Despite its modern appearance, the history of Tokyo Skytree can be traced back to the 16th century, when a tower called the Musashi Kosugi Signal Tower was built in the area. The tower was used to transmit signals to Edo Castle, which was located in the Old City of Edo (present-day Tokyo).

Odaiba Seaside Garden
Odaiba was initially built for defensive purposes in the 1850s. The land was dramatically expanded during the late 20th century as a seaport district, and was redeveloped in the 1990s into a major commercial, residential and leisure area.

Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower's history With the start of NHK, Japan's national broadcaster, in 1953, the Tokyo area needed a large broadcasting tower. Based on the Eiffel Tower in design, Tokyo Tower was completed in 1958. At 333 meters tall, it was the tallest freestanding tower in the world when it was built.

Great personal tour
This was a great tour around Tokyo with Adeel He was so attentive and gave us a lot of information about the city the people and culture

Terrible “Tour” - Shamas was a Sham!
Good experiences:: driver on time, good itinerary planned by Viator Bad experiences: Shamas was a paid driver and certainly not a tour guide! His English was very poor, and had trouble answering very basic questions. Gave NO commentary about the city, or meaningful direction to the places once we arrived. After the second stop I told him we would enjoy some information about the city and Japan in general, but he remained silent the rest of the day towards us. He was however on his phone texting constantly when driving, and staring at his GPS on his lap. His vehicle had no working air conditioning so we drove with windows down. He didn’t have any water for us. He made us pay for parking at a couple stops. We have used Viator many times around the world and never experienced that so we questioned him. His response was “did you book through Get Your Guide or Viator? Show me that parking is included.” He didn’t even know which company he was hired to represent that day. I showed him what was advertised as supposed to be included: water, air conditioned vehicle, English speaking guide- all of which we didn’t receive! We were taken to the Skytree as our 2nd stop by 9:30 and tickets were sold out till noon, so that was a wasted stop. We would have purchased online tickets if we were told earlier in the day that was a possibility. This was the worst Viator tour we’ve ever purchased. We could have hired taxi service and received the same service. I did communicate in a respectful manner at the end of the tour my disappointment in the service and requested the parking money back. He did refund us that amount. I think he knew he was in the wrong. Shamas is not a competent English speaking “guide” It was a shame we didn’t get a good quality Viator guide that we are accustomed to for our only full day in Tokyo. Very disappointing!!

Bad company
The tour operator did not show up. I paid more than 300 us dollars and no one showed up at my hotel to pick me up. This is not a reputable company.

Great tour! Would certainly use this service again!!!
Qasim was a great tour guide and took us to all the major spots around Tokyo! He knew everything about each place we stopped at and gave us all of his recommendations which made our experience really good!!! He knew all the go to food places which really helped us take out all of the guessing games!! We picked a full day tour and it was with my entire family and it was awesome! Highly impressed with the coordination of Qasim and he even showed up about 15 minutes early and was waiting for us in the hotel lobby so right when we went down the elevator he was waiting for us and guided us straight to the car! Seriously he is a total gem to the company and hope other get him as a guide as well!! My only complaint would be that the company owner who listed this service on Viator needs to put that the car is a Comfortable Van rather than saying its a "luxury" Toyota Alphard. Although the van was still comfortable and by no means bad, I was really looking forward to being in a Toyota Alphard which is much more luxurious. There also was no wifi in the car. l hope the business owner that created the Vaitor Ad properly adjusts the advertisment to show that the vehicle could be different and that Wifi is not guaranteed as those were some of the main reasons I went with this company initially. Thankfully, Qasim was awesome so it didnt bother us as much! Would still 100% book again without these things but I know that some people will be upset if they didnt recieve exactly what the ad stated! There is also a lot of people working for this company so perhaps some cars do match the description but if all of them don't then it should be mentioned that Wifi is not guaranteed and to maybe just list the car as a "Large Comfortable Van" Overall would 100% book again and still give it a 5 stat rating which says a lot. I travel 6-8 months a year and have had hundreds of tours and Qasim is one of the best guides I have ever had!

Excellent Day!
If you have just one day free as I did, this is the way to go. The sights in the big city of Tokyo are pretty spread out, so the standard walking tour is not an option. This tour was well thought out, maximizing the experience while allowing me time to explore each stop at my leisure. Umar was a very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable guide that I look forward to touring with again soon.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $389 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 Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 12 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 Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver?
+
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 Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver?
+
Around 4 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver 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 Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. 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.
What is included in Tokyo Full Day Customizable Tour with English Speaking Driver?

Not included: Lunch; Gratuities; Tokyo sky tree entrance fees 2100¥ per person; and Tokyo tower entrance fees 800¥ per person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
