We had the best night ever!!! Our guide MR GIN Took us on a great tour. We couldn’t have asked for a greater night. He knew where to go, took great photos and spoke good english
Loved it!

Satoko was a great guide. I learned so much about Japan and had a lovely evening exploring the area. Great for a single, female traveller over 50.
Rainy Night and Still Amazing!

What a fantastic time we had on this tour with our guide, Thatcherer. Her knowledge and great personality made the night special. We started the tour by visiting the basement of a department store, where we learned about Japanese desserts, tea, wine, and scotch. From there, we headed to a local izakaya, where we had the most delicious bar food and sake ever! And there was a lot of it. Don't go on this tour with a full stomach. We then walked the streets, taking in the city's vibe on our way to the Golden Gai. We holed up in an exciting small bar for a few drinks. The place was so fun and we were having a great time, we lost track of time. I highly recommend this tour!!!!
Great Local Experience

Exactly what I wanted to see and do

It was as though our tour guide Carlos had read my mind. We visited all the nighttime spots in Tokyo that I had dreamed of seeing for such a long time. Perfect!
Recommend - Great fun

Had great time visiting out of way bars that I would never even know are there. Our guide provided background story of the area and insight into the culture of this area.
