The scenery is beautiful and it's a great tour, but since it was cold in February, I think those who are not good with the cold should choose a different time.
景色はよくとてもよいツアーですが、2月の寒い時期でしたので、寒さが苦手な方は時期をえれんだほうがよいかと思います。

You can enjoy the view of the Minato Mirai area and the factory scenery of Yokohama and Kawasaki, which can only be seen from the sea. Depending on the weather conditions, the boat may sway with the waves. Participants in the tour wear the life jackets provided and sit on the long bench at the back deck of the boat. Since the wind blows every time the boat moves, it's necessary to prepare for the cold. It's advisable to bring a coat, gloves, a scarf, and a knit hat. Even if you bring a camera tripod, there may not be enough space to set it up. You can bring food and drinks freely, but since there are no restrooms, it's better to limit your beverages.

The tour was professionally managed, the bus, driver and the roads were excellent, the tour guide capable. We had the good fortune of a sunny day despite it being winter, and could go all the way up to station 5! Snow, windy, yet sunny, beautiful blue sky. Gorgeous. The lunch was great, but the Hakone visit, rope gondola and ferry ride were a bit rushed. Then, because it was winter, it became dark by the time we headed towards the Shinkansen station. It was a great one day tour.

Since it was a one-day pass, I took two rides: from Marunouchi to Skytree at 10:20 and from Marunouchi to Odaiba at 17:30. Sitting in the front row, even a regular curve feels thrilling like a roller coaster. Whether you're in the middle or the back, you can see the scenery in 360 degrees. It's very impressive! I highly recommend it for small children. For me as an adult, the bus guide's stories were full of interesting insights and very entertaining.
一日乗車券だったので、10:20発 丸の内→スカイツリー、17:30発 丸の内→お台場の2つに乗りました。最前列に乗ると、普通のカーブでもジェットコースターのようなドキドキがあります。真ん中でも後ろでも、360度に景色が見えます。非常に迫力があります!小さな子供に非常にお勧めです。大人の私には、バスガイドさんのお話が薀蓄に溢れて、大変おもしろかった。

It is definitely something one shouldn't miss when visiting Tokyo!!! It would be even greater, though if we were given more time to walk around Mt. Fuji Station 5 and get to enjoy our sorroundings more....

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was fantastic and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo or Japan on a short stay. We didn't get to do all the stated activities, but we did have the alternatives offered which were great and really filled out the day. Due to the weather, we didn't get to see the summit of Mt Fuji which was a shame, but there was so much other stuff to see and take in culturally on the other little excursions/activities we didn't really feel like we missed out at all.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. She explained a lot about the city on the way out of Tokyo as well as the various areas we visited and passed through on the bus.
The lunch was excellent and more than we expected. The only down point was the traffic congestion on the way back to Odawara Station which seemed to take forever, but it was a National holiday so it wasn't unexpected. The trip back on the bullet train was well worth the wait though and we got back to Tokyo station within 30 mins of getting on the train! As we don't have any high speed trains like that in New Zealand it was great to both see and ride on.
I'd definitely book with City Discovery again.

The Full Day Grand Tokyo Tour was a nice and relaxing way to view the cities highlights and gardens. Nagi and Jun were excellent guides throughout the day and even taught us a few greetings and how to count in Japanese. I would recommend this tour as a good way to hit the major highlights of Japan.

This bus has limited access areas, so it might be convenient if it matches the place you want to go, but the frequency is low, making it difficult to use multiple times in a day. It seemed like they didn't understand when I showed the voucher from Alan Wan, and I was made to wait. There appeared to be two types of buses: one that only allows boarding on the second floor, where you listen to the guide's announcements while touring, and another with a roof. There is a headphone jack, but they are not distributed, and when I tried using my own headphones from overseas, I found that all channels were playing the same music. I don't think I will use this service again. It's troublesome to have to go to the initial boarding location near Tokyo Station (to receive the boarding card) if it rains. The cost performance is not good. That's all.
このバスは、アクセス地域が偏っていて、行きたい場所に合致すれば便利かもしれないが、本数が少ないのでそうは一日で何度も利用するというのは難しい感じでした。
アランワンからのバウチャーを見せても分かってないようで待たされました。
一階には乗せない2階のみに乗車させ、ガイドのアナウンスを聞きながら周るタイプのバスと、屋根のあるタイプのバスと2通りのようでした。(どちらかが来る)
イヤフォンジャックはありますが、配られることも無く、手持ちの海外で使用したイヤフォンを試に入れてみたら、どのチャンネルも同じ音楽が流れているのみでした。
私はもう利用しようとは思わない。
雨が降ったら困る、東京駅近くの初乗りの場所まで必ず行かなくてはならない(乗車カードを貰う)のが面倒。
コストパフォーマンス的に美味しくは無い。以上。

The trip was nice, we enjoyed the cablecar and the pirate boat. Went to the 5th station in Fuji but other than a meandering mountain road there was nothing up there but a souvenir shop. A bit of quick trekking around would be nicer.
The guide was very helpful and made the coach trip much entertaining, providing interesting info and jokes :)
The but comes at stopping times, particularly at the Hakone fumes, which made us literally run to see the fumes and get back to the bus on time.

Great tour! A definite must do in Tokyo--- breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji and a relaxing half a day at Hakone. Seeing the Shinkansen from the platform is amazing, and knowing that you get to ride in one gives you a very satisfying feeling that you'll get to experience it. Our tour guide Katy was really great--- very informative, engaging, and accomodating. Lunch that comes with the tour was great, too-- authentic bento box and already laid down the tables and prepared to be savoured as soon as we got to the restaurant.

I participated on a clear day in January. I was worried it might be cold since it was an open-top bus, but it wasn't too bad. The best recommended course is the Odaiba course.
After looking up at Tokyo Tower from directly below, the open-top bus headed onto the highway. This was quite a rare experience. It was my first time seeing how large road signs and traffic lights are. Furthermore, it continued to the Rainbow Bridge, and with the good weather, I was able to enjoy views of both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. Since it was a weekday, Odaiba had a rather quiet atmosphere, so we continued without getting off until Tsukiji. We got off at Tsukiji, had sushi for lunch, and then boarded the bus again from the same spot to return to the starting point in Marunouchi. Next, I took the Asakusa course heading towards Tokyo Skytree. I wanted to do some sightseeing at Skytree, so I got off the bus there, but it was a very enjoyable bus experience. If it's your first time in Tokyo, just riding this bus would be enough for sightseeing.
I think even people living in Tokyo would enjoy participating with friends or family on a nice day for a drive-like experience.
1月の快晴の日に参加しました。オープントップなので寒いかなと心配でしたがそれほどでもなかったです。一番のおすすめコースは、お台場コース。
東京タワーを真下から見上げた後、オープントップバスは高速道路へ。これはかなり貴重な体験です。道路標識や信号機はこんなに大きいのかと、初めての経験でした。さらに、レインボーブリッジへと続くのですがお天気もよく、東京タワーとスカイツリーの両方の景観が楽しめました。平日だったのでお台場はかなりおとなしい雰囲気でしたので、下車せずそのまま築地まで。築地で下車して、ランチにお寿司をいただき、その後、また同じところから乗車して丸の内のスタート地点へ。次に浅草コースに乗ってスカイツリーへ向かいました。スカイツリー観光をしたかったのでバスの乗車はここまででしたが、かなり楽しいバス体験でした。初めての東京ならこのバスに乗っているだけでも十分観光ができそうです。
東京に住んでいる人でも、お友達や家族と天気の良い日にドライブ気分で参加するのもいいと思います。

Fantastic day. Only had 1 day available to see Mt Fuji and this tour was a great way to see it. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful. Due to snowfall we could only reach the 4th station but the view was spectacular. The whole day was about Mt Fuji and we were given plenty of opportunities to take photos. It is a long day but I would highly recommend it.

Very nice tour! The shrine we visited (Toshogu shrine) was marvellous. The only regret is that we did not stay long enough to visit the different buildings to which we had access with the entrance ticket. The food was a nice overview of a typical japanese meal. The afternoon was dedicated to the imperial villa (nice garden and interesting house despite being mostly empty) and the sightseeing of a waterfall.
