Summary:
This was a great way to know Tokyo thanks to the itinerary, a comfortable bus and our super nice tour guide Yui.
We got to see many great sights in Tokyo in one day that probably couldn’t have been possible to do on our own if not for this specific tour.
Yui was personable and shared a lot of knowledge and history in a fun way so our appreciation of this city grew and was very enjoyable at the same time.
The food selection was delicious, and as a cool touch to end the day, seeing the sunset hit the Tokyo skyline while going under the rainbow bridge on a boat ride provided a very cinematic and memorable experience of Tokyo.
Muchas gracias Yui and company.

Summary:
Did a Tour of Tokyo on the bus.
Loved every minute of it!
Went to see the Palace, Skytree, The Senso-Ji temple, had an option of matcha gelato, matcha tea, matcha cream puff, or matcha beer. Went to an Emperor Meiji's Shrine and learned about how Western Culture influenced his and Japan's way of life.
Had a great Japanese style lunch plus got to walk around, explore and shop with some personal free time!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Plus gave us lots of tips on where to find some great gifts later on and try some wonderful and delicious hidden eats
