Best tour ever! - Our guide and now friend Takaya was phenomenal! It was our second day in Japan and he answered all our questions and guided us through the city he is very knowledgeable! This tour is a necessity for first timers in Japan. We had a lot of fun! We laughed so much and tasted delicious food that we would have not ordered because we wouldn’t know. Thank you so much! Until next time!

A great evening in Shinjuku. - I booked this tour last minute and was glad I did.
It was a great night out with an overview of Shinjuku. Takaya (my friendly and polite guide) answered all my questions, showed me the sites and recommended the best foods and drinks to try.
Highly recommend.

Awesome Experience. Takayama our guide was very personable. - I’ve been to Shinjuku many times, this tour introduced me to places I would have never experienced. Kubuki-Cho tower was a memorable item.

Guide was a NO SHOW! - Why use Viator if the tour guide just cancels on you when the tour is set to begin. We waited and waited for our guide and she never showed up. I contacted her through the Viator app and was told she didn't know about our booking. We only had two nights in Tokyo so we didn't have the option to reschedule. So disappointing!
