Great night in Shinjuku - Our tour guide Aki prepared a great experience for us to enjoy. Starting from the organisation of the tour, he told us the meeting point very clearly and created a WhatsApp group so that we could communicate with him in case of delays. The 3 chosen places were all in Shinjuku but still very different from each others, which I personally appreciated. I particularly enjoyed the sake tasting because there were many different sakes with their own explanation card, so we knew exactly what we were drinking. I also enjoyed the karaoke experience. As for the pricing part, I think we paid fairly in all the three places. Highly recommended if you wanna enjoy Shinjuku with new friends.

Great first night in Tokyo - The tour was amazing. I did this the first day of my trip to Tokyo and even though I was a bit tired from the flight, our tour guide - Shota, made this a very great first night for me. He was friendly and very welcoming. He took his time to explain things to us if we didn’t understand. We went to a few bars and had some very good drinks and sake. I also met a lot of great people during this tour. I’d definitely recommend. After the tour was over, a couple of the people from the tour continued with me to other bars and it was overall just a great experience in Shinjuku.

Worth the money - I recently joined a 3-hour local bar tour and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The tour was well-organized, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide who not only knew the best spots in town but also shared interesting stories and local history along the way.
