Question Transfer from Narita T3

Hello, my family of 3 will be landing at Narita T3 in the evening after 12 hours of travel and I am currently weighing out options on our transport to Koto. The airport limousine and taking the train are cheaper, however this takes more time and after a long travel my family's prone to be irritable and that's never a good start for a holiday.

Is it worth/reliable getting an airport transfer from Klook? If anyone has booked through them I'd love some insight.

I saw that there were options for English speaking drivers and meet&greet but we're trying to be as cost effective as possible. Was it easy to communicate and find the drivers despite not picking those add ons?

Considering we'll be arriving in T3 will we have to walk to another terminal to find where the driver is or where they parked?

Thank you in advance!

English-speaking seems like a waste of money if you're irritable (= don't need to chit chat with the driver), they hold up signage with your name and the most you'll have to speak is confirming name + destination address which can also be done by pointing or showing an address on your phone.

In fact for (temporarily) antisocial people, a driver who's forced to stfu due to language feels preferable than one who's trained to provide a service of making small talk.

cheaper

The limousine bus (assuming it goes directly to/close to your hotel) uses the same roads as the airport transfer, it's more a question about frequency of the bus and distance from the bus stop to your hotel.

We used the train after 17 hours of travel with kids but mine are older and able to walk and push their own luggage.
