Kader was really personable and nice; also punctual. Spoke very good English. The tour was ok—observation tower was cool but the Sankeien garden was a bust. way way too far to go on public transport (45 minutes each way ) and the garden was not well maintained—-just blah. Suggest skipping this long slog and going to Chinatown, gondolas and the amazing sushi restaurant we ended up at. We Uber’ed back to town because the bus took up the entire tour window, that cost us $35USD. He is amazing but do your homework and customize and stay downtown instead of the long slog. Fun but oh so hot
