Tokyo Bar Hopping Tour in Shinjyuku(Location can be changed)
“best guide!”
Amazing bar hopping experience!
“Such a wonderful introduction to Tokyo!”
I spent two days touring with Yoshi and couldn't be happier. It was such a great way to see Tokyo for the first time. Yoshi shared so much history and culture with us that it made all the sites more special than we could have imagined. If Yoshi is available, take the opportunity to spend a day with him! Thanks, Yoshi!
“Excellent!”
We had a great time with Michiko. Her communication prior to our meeting was excellent, she showed up on time, and she stuck to the plan! She helped us explore and enjoy Kyoto without all the stress that can come with visiting a new place. We visited beautiful shrines, walked through a busy shopping street, ate lunch at a brewery (our request to sample local beer), and did a private tea tasting. I only wish I had planned for more time to shop!
