The Tokyo 2021 Olympics will go down in history as one of the most unique yet, with no international spectactors for the first time, but you can enjoy your own piece of Olympic action and cheer on for Tokyo from the heart of London - brought to you by Wendy Wu Tours, the official tour operator for the 2008 Beijing Olympics!
Discover Japanese cultural gems hidden away amongst the London highlights. Using your brain power and map reading skills, follow a series of Japan-themed clues every step of the way until you reach the finale - the Wendy Wu Team and 20 times marathon runner and official 2012 London Olympic Torchbearer, John Warr, will be waiting to welcome you and share stories of his amazing Olympic Torch relay. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grab a photo with a genuine and official Olympic Torch!
The self-guided Tokyo-on-Thames experience is very different from our usual all-inclusive, fully guided tours. For this adventure you are in the 'driving seat' as you'll have to use your brain to solve the clue and navigate your way through London's marvellous landscape. You'll meet members of the Wendy Wu Team at each cultural Japanese spot who will provide another clue for the next part of your journey.
Highlights include: - Solve clues to adventure your way through London (help is only a text away), learning fascinating facts about Tokyo and London as you go
- Sail the River Thames from Tower Bridge (ticket included)
- Experience an authentic Japanese shopping centre with the chance to taste sake (dependant on time)
- Uncover the most stunning Japanese Garden in the UK and the zen and philosophy behind it
- See the original design of the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Torch in reality
- Meet John Warr and the Wendy Wu Team and get a photo with an official London 2012 Olympic Torch!
This is great day out for all the family, from grandparents to grandchildren, or even as a group of friends. Team up and enjoy the highlights of Japan and London all rolled into one.
With a choice of start times between 10:30am and 1:30pm, the trail should take no longer than approximately 3 hours to complete, but please go at your own pace. Enjoyment is the name of the day!
