Experience to Repeat - Joey was an amazing tour guide who took his job seriously and at the same time was hilarious. My entire group created a family by the end and it was only possible because of Joey’s influence. Loved this experience.

Good people, food and drinks - exactly the type of tour you want and need! - Awesome tour, probably one of the best I’ve had. Our tour guide Taka-san went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time exploring the food and sampling the drinks. He was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and spoke English well. The food was more substantial than expected and at each location Taka-san gave us a brief explanation of the place, the types of drinks and the foods that the location specialized in. He also have a good tour of the area of Shinjuku we visited and what to expect there if we were to come back. The three hours just flew by and everyone on the tour made friends and it was all in all a very fun tour. I think this is the type of tour anyone visiting Tokyo would want and enjoy.

Request Amy! - Amy was the best! She took us interesting places we would have never discovered on our own. She was also flexible and took us to the only cherry blossom tree that was blooming in the area because many of us were interested. Also a great way to bond with fellow travelers. Def highly recommend.

Best tour ever! - What an amazing experience! Our tour guides, Taka-san and Yuri-san, took us to izakayas with amazing food and drinks that we never would have found on our own. They were very knowledgeable and all around fun people to hang out with. I highly recommend this tour as well as Taka-san and Yuri-san!

Great time with new friends! - Our tour guide Rie was fantastic, it felt like going out to get a drink with friends. She answered our questions and informed us of the area but also let it be a natural conversation evening where we could all feel comfortable. Would recommend, we went to bars I would not have found on my own and we we’re welcomed warmly at each one.

Excellent tour - Great experience. Bit more food tour than beer! but bars were excellent and varied. Anne was fantastic keeping us from UK, US and Aus in track. Loved the snake infused liquor. Great start to our holiday in Japan and well worth the money.

Not a bar crawl - Our guide didn’t speak good English and was hard to understand. We didn’t het to go to bad in golden gai. We sat at two izakayas, one that wasn’t even serving Japanese food and was horrible! The one bar was a sake bar in a building on top floor that smelled like fish. It was not a bar crawl by any means. Wed like a refund.
