My husband and I are big fans of anime and Japanese culture. Thus we knew that we wanted to explore Akihabara. It can be pretty overwhelming for a first timer so having a personalized guide was incredibly helpful! I tend to do larger group tours but having a private guide to show us the ins and outs was amazing. Jordyn was knowledgeable, engaging and she provided us with a lot of insight and guidance. It was wonderful exploring through the eyes of a local. I loved that the tour company sent us questions prior to our tour to help guide our experience while also including their recommendations. We were able to take what we learned from the experience with us when we returned on our own to explore. I would highly recommend this tour as well as any other of the City Unscripted tours as having a local guide really helps to navigate this wonderful country.
