Take this Tour!! - My wife and I had the privilege of experiencing this tour with Wesley. He took us to places we never would have found on our own and each one of them was a unique experience (and delicious). His commentary on both the places we stopped at and the areas we walked through was interesting and provided us with a lot of insight into Shinjuku and Japanese culture in general. He is clearly passionate about his work and as a result anyone who has the opportunity to take on of his tours will have a great evening and the opportunity to learn a lot. We took a few tours during our Japan trip and this was the best of all. A great way to finish our trip! Thanks Wesley!

Delicious and entertaining tour of Shinjuku - This tour led us through the complex maze of streets and alleys in Shinjuku and Golden Gai in a way we never would have been able to do ourselves. We saw so much in 3 hours! Daniel was energetic and enthusiastic the entire evening, and constantly gave us tidbits of information about the neighborhood, its history, and the food traditions. We ate a lot, and really enjoyed experiencing the lights and spectacle in Shinjuku at night. Definitely recommend!

Great Shinjuku intro - The tour was a great intro to the Shinjuku area. Our guide, Glenda deftly navigated us through interesting stops in Omoide Yokocho, Kabikicho, and Golden Gai. She was personable, knowledgeable, and professional. We highly recommend this tour with Glenda as a guide.

Welcome Tokyo - The tour with Alex has been great, first getting to know the alley and tasting delicious skewers and continuing with a delicious ramen. Also mention the comments and stories about the neighborhood we were in. Then we went to try sushi, followed by takoyakis. Finally, he showed us the alleys and bars of gay golden, ending in a karaoke. I recommend it 100%

Sandra was a great guide! This is an excellent tour - This is a great tour to expose you to 4 different types of Japanese food, the history of it, and where it originated in Japan. Not much walking. If you want to sample some delicious food and familiarize yourself with the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, this is a good tour and a very good value.

Great night out in Golden Gai - We had a great time on the Golden Gai food tour. It would have been difficult to navigate the area and find great places without a guided tour. Masahiro was our guide and he was awesome. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. His English is great and we enjoyed discussing Japanese culture along the way too. We ate tempura, ramen, and sushi. Show up hungry because it’s a lot of food! Don’t wander this crowded area alone. Book this tour!

Fabulous Experience - This was a great tour! We did this tour our first full night in Tokyo and it was a great idea because it gave us the lay of the land and courage to go back to these tiny bars and restaurants on our own which seemed intimidating to visit as English-only speakers. The food we had at each stop was wonderful and varied (yakitori, sushi, ramen). Finally, our tour guide, Wes, was wonderful. He was so fun, knowledgeable of the food, customs, and area, and a super comfortable guy to spend 3 hours eating and talking to. Highly recommend this tour!

Eeh, alright I guess - I didn't actually go on this tour, but I went here a couple times. Lots of small bars fitting like 3-5 people. Had some nice sake, but the touts around this place just made it an horrible experience being there.
