This tour may be better suited to groups who are not wholly reliant on the tour guide to make the tour more interesting and enjoyable.”

“I’ve been on about a dozen Viators and I’ve always had a good experience before this. Skip this tour if you can. The tour guide spent most of his time pointing out what one can see with their naked eye. While he did share a few interesting facts, he took over 2.5 hours just to get us to the gate of Sensoji temple. I could have done the entire experience in 30 minutes. I was so bored I left the tour an hour early.”
