We had a great experience with our tour! This guy Naoto is cool and fun tour guide you can get. If you are a food lover, you’ll like this tour cause they will give recommendations on where to eat and brief history behind every locations. They also take good pictures for you. This is highly recommended if you are coming to Shinjuku.
I really loved this walking tour through Shinjuku! Chihiro was very knowledgeable, friendly and had a good sense of humour. We visited several sights and back alleys around Shinjuku that I would've struggled to find myself. She was very honest and open, sharing information on the area, the red light district, as well as providing recommendations on places to eat and drink. I highly recommend this tour.
Couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. Ayaka and George were excellent guides and their knowledge and insights of the area were great being first timers to the Shinjuku. We loved the glitzy and red light district areas as well as the 'dark' back lanes where a good time can be had by anyone that's prepared to try what Shinjuku has to offer. Do not miss this tour!
the tour was great and Koki the guide was amazing. we learnt a lot about Tokyo. Great Backstreet Experiences and real life about Tokyo from the inside out
Ayaka, our tour guide, was incredibly professional. She took us to so many hidden gems and explained a lot about Shinjuku's history. Throughout the entire trip, you could really feel Ayaka's deep love for Japan! If we had come on our own, we would have only scratched the surface and wouldn't have been able to experience Shinjuku in such depth! Highly Recommend!
Very articulate and knowledgeable guide who went through the narrative with remarkable clarity. She even went beyond her time to keep us fully engaged. the walk through the back alleys was quite revealing. worth the dollar. would highly recommend.
Great tour. The tour guide Ayika (sorry can’t remember her name). She was from Utah, Half Japanese. Was very friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating. we were short 100 yen and she spotted us for the coin locker. Loved the tour fantastic history.
Loved this tour! Big shout out to Anthony and Haruka for sharing their time with us. We enjoyed learning about the area and the minor things that would usually be overlooked. Whilst Anthony led the way, Haruka provided some exceptional notes for those of us at the back and that made all the difference for us. Thank you to Anthony for your energy and enthusiasm! We’ll definitely be sharing this knowledge with friends and family.
Kawa was informative, and very open to answering our questions. he recommended some great food spots. And we were able to see the history of Shinjuku in a relaxed and fun environment. we went as a family of 5 aged 13-adult so we did the tour late morning and it was good. we would Book the tour again at night when the kids are older to experience the areas we saw in another way.
had a great time exploring shinjuku. mao was such a great tour guide. we visited places, we definitely would bot be able to if we did not avail this tour. we got food recommendations and learned more about the history of shinjuku. this is a must tour.
