Best night ever in Tokyo - This was a highlight of our trip! Our guide YOSHI knows great food and bars after and shared so many great tips on food, drinks and culture in Japan. Every place we went was on point with atmosphere, food choices for everyone and it was like being in a group of friends from the start. Book early to make sure you get to dine and enjoy a great evening.

Getting tipsy in Shinjuku - Yoshi led us around Shinjuku is a bar-hopping night to remember! Good food, good alcohol and good cheer, we met lovely people, our fellow travelers in the tour group and bartenders in izekias and dive bars. All in a great night out.

Had a great time - My wife and I had an incredible time on the Shinjuku tour with Yoshi. As introverts, we were a little nervous at first, but Yoshi made us feel completely at ease. His warm and welcoming personality really stood out, and he created a comfortable environment for us to enjoy the experience. We learned so much during the tour and had a lot of fun along the way! We're already looking forward to doing more tours with him in the future. Highly recommend!

Best tour in Tokyo! - I joined this tour alone, and it was a truly unique experience that I couldn't find anywhere else. The guide had extensive knowledge of the local area and took us to hidden gems, making the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. Every place we visited had delicious food and drinks, and I fully enjoyed the nightlife atmosphere of Shinjuku! The guide was very friendly, which made it easy to connect with others on the tour, even though we had just met. I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers. There's also the opportunity to take photos at some great photo spots, allowing you to capture lasting memories. This tour is worth more than its price, and as a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and secure throughout. Thanks to this tour, I now have wonderful memories. If you want to enjoy a bar-hopping experience in Shinjuku, I highly recommend this tour. Best guide!! Thank you!!!
