Shinjuku shenanigans

We had a great time with our tour guide, Haruki. He made the tour so interesting and entertaining. It was fun to be among the sites and sounds of Shinjuku and sample the local food. Haruki really made this an experience.

Super nice

Even during typhoon season, this tour was amazing. The guide Aika was super welcome and lighthearted, and explained all the dishes with patience and which pride for her city we really appreciate it the local food and the small little restaurants. Definitely something worth the money.

Fun experience

We had a fun food tour with Izzy! She was so fun, and took us to some great places to eat. I'm always happy when I get to try something I've never had before, and she made that happen. The food was tasty, and she taught us some fun facts about Shinjuku. I would recommend this tour.

First time foodie in Shinjuku

Ricki is a wonderful host who gave us insights into Shinjuku and nearby Ginza which were tour highlights. As a foodie I would have preferred more Tokyo centric food options in the tour to include more intimate dining experiences rather than snacking on the street.
