A neonstravaganza! - This was an awesome experience from start to finish. Not only was Charles knowledgeable of the area, he was also really handy at helping with setups for different types of shoots and how to apply those settings for best effect. His geographic knowledge of the areas around Tokyo are excellent, lending multiple different places to capture great shots of Tokyo and its neon. If you have the chance I’d highly recommend this tour with your camera!

Great experience - highly recommended. 5 stars. - This tour was a fantastic experience. Charles was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and cheerful, and he has a clear passion for photography. He gave me some fantastic tips on using my phone camera and how to get the best shots, and he helped me get amazing photos that I've sent to my family and friends back home. If you want to see Tokyo through a different lens, quite literally, and explore the intricate twists and turns around the maze of Shinjuku and Shibuya, then this is the tour for you.

Incredible Pictures to Remember my Time in Tokyo! - My guide Charles was awesome, super friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to help all of us on the tour with different cameras get some incredible results. He knew some awesome spots and had some really great insight into our compositions. I was so pleased with this one I booked another tour with them as soon as I got back to the hotel!

Fun evening of photography - Great evening of photography. Learned a lot about creative night time photography. Saw parts of Tokyo we would not have visited on our own. Guide was great. Would fully recommend.

Very nice experience. To be redone - Beyond the discovery of a Tokyoite neighborhood that we did not know, Lucasz is very nice and shared with us many tips to be able to put his technique back to use.

Definitely recommend! - Lukasz is a brilliant teacher and this session was extremely interesting. I learnt so much and wished I lived in Tokyo to continue learning from him. Really humble, relaxed, knowledgable and a great communicator. Don't hesitate to book.

Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable guides who brings people to interesting places and provide shooting guidance - Lukasz, Charles and Lee were all AMAZING! They are genuinely very friendly people and are all knowledgeable about the places we shot at. Not only did they bring me to unfamiliar nice places I otherwise wouldn’t have known, they also suggested shooting angles and composition. My personal photo series on Tokyo was greatly enhanced by their guidance. I will sign up for more sessions in my next trip to Japan!

Tour. For fast walkers - Nat our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant but unfortunately he walked very fast. My friend and I struggled to keep up and after an hour we totally lost track of him. We did not know where we were so had to take a taxi back to our hotel, missing the last hour of the tour.
