The experience
A private journey, thoughtfully paced
# Tokyo Private City Tour with English-Speaking Driver-Guide
See Tokyo's landmarks in comfort on a fully private tour built around what you actually want to see. Travel in an air-conditioned van with your own English-speaking driver-guide, skip the trains and the crowds, and decide on the day how long to spend at each stop.
Morning hotel pickup anywhere in Tokyo's 23 wards means you reach Asakusa before the coach groups arrive.
## 8-Hour Private Day Tour
Start time: 8:00 or 9:00
Begin at Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, then walk Nakamise shopping street for traditional snacks and souvenirs. Continue to Tokyo Skytree for panoramic views across the city and, on clear days, Mount Fuji on the horizon.
Break at Tsukiji Outer Market, where the lanes are lined with fresh seafood, tamagoyaki and street food stalls. This is the best point on the route for lunch at your own expense.
Cross the city to Tokyo Tower and the neighbouring Zojo-ji Temple, where the old temple gate frames the red tower rising behind it. It is one of Tokyo's best photographs and sits five minutes from the tower itself.
The afternoon brings the green calm of Meiji Shrine, the fashion streets of Harajuku, and finally Shibuya Crossing, where thousands of people cross at once. Stop at the Hachiko statue before heading back to your hotel.
## Optional Stops (time permitting)
Add or swap any of these at no extra tour cost. Attraction admission is not included.
* Shinjuku – Kabukicho, neon streets and the Godzilla head
