One reviewer noted on January 9, 2020:

Our Favorite Night In Tokyo - My husband and I landed in Tokyo at 3pm rested for an hour or two, then met Anrei for our tour. We were a bit worried about taking this tour the day we landed, but we rallied. We had SUCH A FANTASTIC TIME romping about Shibuya, meeting new friends, learning about Anrei, Japanese culture and the bar scene, and loved every second of it. The photos came out incredible. Anrei is a great photographer, and we love all of the photos. Their our favorite from our whole trip. Take this tour, go as a family, a couple, with friends, you won’t regret it!
