“Well I will start off by saying that this tour is very predatory and to stay away. I booked this tour well in advance and wasn't notified till in Tokyo about the IDP form needed to operate a vehicle. That being said would be nice to obtain or knowledge before my tour. That wasn't the case and instead outright voiding the tour or compensation this company opted to keep the funds since the 24hr cancelation limit tips in their favor. This tour was supposed to be the highlight of my trip to Tokyo being able to ride in the street on a go cart. I actually happend to look at…”

“Had a freaking awesome time. The tour guide gave me great insight on the city and most of the surrounding area with recommendations on eateries, specific buildings and so on. It was a comfortable atmosphere with some dope scenery and some laughs in-between to lighten the mood. My tour guide was Gus and his level of concern for my safety was exceptional as he checked periodically to make sure I was always in his view and I myself was ok. The view of the city was breathtaking esp from the advantage point of a suped-up go kart, which are very fast by the way. I mos def recommend this on…”
