Not just swordplay!! 😁

From the beginning, Molly was friendly and welcoming. She has a lovely personality and conveyed elements of Japanese culture in an interesting and engaging manner. The tour was excellent, starting with a walk around the local area including a visit to a Shrine then onto the Samurai experience which was hugely informative and entertaining culminating with a delicious meal at a local restaurant. Thank you Molly for making the tour so memorable!

Not just sword play! 😁

From the beginning, Molly was friendly, welcoming and attentive to our needs. Molly was very knowledgeable and detailed in her explanations which made for a very engaging experience from start to finish. We both loved every part of the tour, from the tour of the area and local Shrine, onto the Samurai experience which was hugely informative and entertaining, culminating in a lovely meal before we departed back to the hotel. Thank you Molly! We would thoroughly recommend this tour!!

Samurai experience- an absolute must!!

Unfortunately on the day, it was torrential rain, and we actually went with limited expectations. Despite the weather, this was one of the best tours we’ve ever done, and we are frequent travellers. Yoshi was absolutely incredible. The tour through the historic areas was amazing, and he explained all the history in detail, and even had diagrams on an iPad for visuals. The samurai experience was out of this world, and my grumpy teen son with a fractured collarbone, was absolutely beaming by the end. And we finished off with a lovely dinner. If you’re in Tokyo, this tour is a must. You won’t regret it.
