The operator did contact us to change the date because of rain which made it difficult to fit into our schedule. We really wanted to do it early during our time in Tokyo to get a feel for the city before exploring it ourselves. There wasn't any rain in the end so felt the operators weren't flexible enough for us but otherwise a good tour and would recommend it.”
