We enjoyed having our own personal tour guide (Keiko) to show us places we might have missed if we were on our own, especially the small shops on the quiet back roads. Good selection of food choices in Yanaka Ginza--we were stuffed at the end. We also appreciated small touches such as our guide providing a bag for our trash and hand wipes for our sticky hands. Overall, the pacing and time allotted for this tour was just right.

Hiromi was an excellent guide once again. Love how she was attentive to things I liked by asking questions and even changing up the tour on the fly as I was the only one on the tour. I experienced hidden gems of a restaurants e.g. sky scaper restaurant serving Hokkaido with tremendous views of Tokyo, but equally felt like a local going restaurant that the locals would go.
