Have you ever watched a bus full of tourists roll by as you walked down a sunny street in a famous city? If you did, perhaps you paused for a moment, wondering what could have possessed such a crowd to willingly get on board, sequestering themselves behind tinted windows for an entire day on wheels. The answer lies in the alluring combination of ease and efficiency such an experience has the potential to provide. If you are willing to entrust six hours of any given day to the friendly people who run Hello! Limo day trips around Tokyo, rest assured that they will comfortably transport you to a variety of interesting areas all over the city. What’s more, they can do it for significantly less than the cost of traveling the same distance in a series of taxi cabs. (Sure, subways and trains are also quick and easily accessible, but they cannot provide the same level of visual simulation for you and your companions.)

For city dwellers who have not yet managed to take advantage of this bustling metropolis, this could be the perfect opportunity to explore those storied corners of which you have heard but never laid eyes on. People entertaining foreign guests on tight schedules might also lean on this option when a good friend’s once in a lifetime visit rapidly draws to a frantic close. Tokyo is a big city. Hello! Limo is here to help you conquer it. Hello! Limo strives to distinguish its excursions from the kind normally offered by other Japanese tour companies. One way that this company sets itself apart is by operating its tours from smaller than average tour buses. You might consider coordinating an outing for a large group of friends, family or even coworkers. Traveling with people you know changes the dynamic of a traditional tour and unfamiliar places are even more fun to explore with companions about whom you really care.

Another appealing characteristic of the tour is the level of freedom granted to the participants. When most people think of bus tourism, they envision themselves being subjected to highly organized schedules and childishly micromanaged movement. Hello! Limo prefers to shuttle its clientele to important areas and leave the actual exploration up to each individual. A knowledgeable guide is on hand to provide a formal tour for those who prefer to have their hands held a bit, so the option for a more sheltered experience is always there. Those who are more independent and have done sufficient research on their own are free to enjoy the sights as they see fit. Travelers simply need to remember to return to the designated meeting place in time for the next departure. Hello! Limo’s prices are also very affordable, due largely in part to the simplified nature of its programs. Unlike other companies, which provide several meals over the course of a single day, at no point is food ever the focus of a particular stop. The travelers may choose to eat whatever they like at any point during the trip, provided there are no time constraints.

If there are certain corners of Tokyo that you have yet to discover, or if you should happen to find yourself entertaining guests with limited time in Japan, a Hello! Limo tour just might be your best option for covering a lot of ground with minimal stress and responsibility. Find out more about touring Tokyo by bus here.
