Our Tokyo city tour with Lauren was fabulous . Before the tour Lauren reached out to me to create an itinerary that included all the things we wanted to see. We had an excellent time . Lauren also helped us maneuver the trains and metro. She took us to a great restaurants and showed us some Japanese customs. After the tour she stayed in touch to make sure we were doing well. She also gave us some restaurant suggestions for the rest of our tour. Highly recommend the tour with Lauren .
