We all felt safe and Gyula communicated very well on the road. We were so happy we were able to share this experience, and this is the one to do. I know there are others in Tokyo but this is by far the best one considering the traffic and the sites.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 348 reviews · from $106

“Super great guides. Fun costumes. Strong focus on safety. Great photos. Good way to get a sense of Tokyo. Only downside is that they need a system to guide us. The go karts are too loud to hear over even in the front. This is more an experience than a guided tour through Tokyo. If yii or Ute looking for that—this isn’t it. Had a lot of fun though!”
