Mac was awesome! First of all, he was easy to communicate with and he gets back to you quickly. I knew within our first few emails we would get along great and I was right. He is extremely well educated and it is reflected in his knowledge of Tokyo. He knows so much more than a "tour book". His interpersonal skills put you immediately at ease and he weaves in the history of the sites and city without any of it being boring. We brought our two teenage sons and they loved the tour (hard to excite teenagers). He brought life to the shrines and temples which made the visits so much more interesting. He knew the fish market in and out all brought us down all the little alleys we would have never ventured down. My son is still talking about the sushi restaurant we went to and three days later we had to try to find the little couple that served shaved ice to us on our day with Mac. We found it about an hour later! We went to the Swallows game and although we are not baseball people the game was so much fun and everyone we met was so friendly. I am a huge history buff so it was an added bonus for me since Mac knows so much about the history of the city.

On our last day his colleague Danielle brought us to Sumo practice and I have to say that was unbelievable. I thought it may be a bit boring as did my boys since they had to stay silent for 90 minutes but the dedication these guys bring to the sport is really amazing. Danielle was a great guide getting us there on time, acting as a liaison and the wrestlers loved her "I love Sumo" shirt.

Mac and Danielle, THANKS SO MUCH!! We had a great trip and you really know how to run a successful, but most importantly fun business!

Sure you could buy a guide book and barely scratch the surface of a few of the "Top Ten Must-See Highlights", spending more time working out how to get from one place to another than getting the most of your precious and limited holiday in Tokyo and ending up eating in the places that everybody who bought that guide book is eating in...

Or you could book a tour with Maction Planet and have an unforgettable trip in one of the world's most amazing cities. Mac has lived in Tokyo for years but this hasn't dulled his enthusiasm for the city. Don't think that you will get an off the shelf trip round the usual suspects- Mac is always learning and finding out the new places to go and things to do. You will go to places you never imagined existed and eat in places you wouldn't dare to go in and your time in Tokyo will be jam packed with sights, tastes, smells and sounds that you will never forget. Even when you go to the tourist spots (which you will because they are awesome), Mac will have more information than the average guide(book) to really help you understand the Japanese history and culture to really get the most out of your visit.

If you value your leisure time, invest in a tour with Maction Planet. Great return guaranteed!!

If you are headed to Tokyo, Touring with Mac is a must. Do not bother going at all unless you book time with Mac. If he is booked, reschedule your trip to when he is available.

This was our first time traveling to Tokyo. What a great city. Mac toured us at our pace, he made sure we hit the highlights on and off the beaten path. We had many requests and needs that we wanted to hit in the area. We completed our list. We even completed the extra list, that we didn't know we wanted to hit (Mac's ideas were off the chart). I never review on Trip Advisor, but Mac was worth the time to post this review. Happy travels.
