“8Hr Walking Tour through Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinkuku”
We had a great walking tour with Virginie - she was very flexible, and incorporated her local knowledge with our requested hot-spots to fill the day well! We opted for the 8-hour tour, which covers a lot of ground, but Virginie was amazing and didn't falter at all! We agreed to meet at Shibuya train station at the tour starting point, so we got the most out of the day, and had a great lunch that Virginie recommended.
