Three couples from Texas spent their first full day in Tokyo on this Viator tour. Upon arrival at our hotel we were given a message from our guide, Yuko, with details regarding our meeting the following morning. She appeared promptly and ushered us off for an exciting day. We were delighted that she handled the purchase of our subway tickets and showed us how to use the system. She also showed a great deal of patience as we fumbled with tickets--and even lost one! Yuko adjusted the schedule a bit, substituting a visit to the Meiji Temple for the Tokyo Skytree. While this was unexpected, we appreciated the chance to walk through the beautiful park and see a temple we'd thought we would have to miss. Yuko also guided us to an excellent restaurant for lunch. All in all, we had a wonderful day with our gracious guide.
