Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Tokyo Skytree in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Tokyo Tower alone was worth the trip, but combined with Harajuku Takeshita Street this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Tokyo is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Meiji Shrine. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Senso-ji Temple (Nakamise-dori paid extras) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
