Great trip with an awesome guide on a comfortable bus.
I received the email with the pickup location and Google maps took us directly there. The tour guide Kumiko gave us our seat assignment on the bus and we departed on time for trip from Shinjuku station to Tokyo station to pick up the last passengers. First stop was the Imperial palace grounds, then the Sensoji temple, Japanese tea experience and a visit to Odaiba island for the buffet lunch at the Hilton. We took some pictures on the short river cruise and the final stop to the observation platform in Tokyo tower. Everything was perfectly timed and we had a great time. It was a great value for 9.
