Amazing time. Shingo took us to bars that we never would have found on our own and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. It definitely felt less like a tour and more like meeting up with an old friend to go out and explore the city. It was a wonderful time and I can't recommend it enough

A flavourful bar hopping experience
What to say other than Shingo is the MAN! He’s fun, knowledgeable and a proper local with international experience. He has jokes, stories, trivia and a gift make you feel home in an unknown world. That seemingly just another street with a rich historical background which I wouldn’t have paid attention to otherwise, bumping into his friends on the road, or walking into bars feeling like you are going to a drink with a friend and meeting many more there, Shingo has the magic to really make your day special. Thanks Shingo for the really great time! If you are in Tokyo , don’t miss the chance to experience Shinjuku in a way that could very well be the highlight of your trip! Oh and did I mention about all the laughter? ;)
