bad and disappointing

worst experience ever!!!i was very excited for this tour ,turned out to be worst experience I have ever had in Japan. Instead of a local guide, the company sent an immigrant student to take us on the tour, only because he spoke English .First ,he took us to the wrong restaurant ,and then he only ordered us what ever his boss told us to. Honestly we could have done that on our own ,not having to pay money for the company .I blame the company for not taking the customers seriously, just sending any one who spoke English .That tour was a rip off

Fantastic night

This tour was such a fun night! We went to some places we never would’ve found ourselves since it was really hard to find and go. The guide helped us order and even explained the drinks and the culture!

Unforgettable experience !

I joined the Shibuya tour with Ryu and was blown away by how much I didn’t know about this famous district! He took us beyond the typical tourist spots, introducing us to a mix of traditional eateries, tiny alleyway izakayas, and even a retro arcade. Ryu’s passion for Japanese culture made everything come alive — he shared local stories and insider tips that made the experience feel personal and immersive. The food stops were incredible, especially the savory karaage and the fluffy Japanese pancakes! Highly recommend if you want to go deeper into Shibuya than just the Scramble Crossing.
