“This was a great tour. The tour guide and driver couldn’t have done any better. I think the only thing that would have made it even better would have been to spend more time in Toshogu and less in EDO. The weather was cold and wet which they came prepared with extra umbrellas. I give the tour the tour guide and drive a 10 for a great day!”
