It was cool to see some of what seemed like the less known shops and it also certainly helps if you don't know Japanese to have a guide.

It was very fun having someone show all the facets of Akihabara. Felt comfortable all the way

Very good tour. Able to move around and see hidden spots but also explore the area. I had a solo tour and it was wonderful. Maid cafe was interesting but fun.

Yuki was an incredible guide, he knows Akihabara very well and was able to give us the best recomendations. And also it was great that he included in the tour extra things like a free drink in a maid cafe and a photo with one of our choice!
