“Highly recommended, gives a great background about Tokyo, it's history and more. Our guide Atsushi san was amazing! he is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Do take into account though that the tour is marked "wheelchair accessible", while in fact you can only take it if you can go up and down the bus's steps. Our amazing driver took care of taking my wheel hair in and out every time and Atsushi san made sure I won't miss out on anything!”
