“Fantastic Shibuya night tour”
Aissam was on time , friendly and professional from start to finish on our night tour of the Tokyo/Shibuya districts.He catered for my husbands passion for record collecting by taking us to the Tower record shop and was also caring in how the tour was navigated as I was not well that night. Aissam was attentive and gave full descriptions of the areas we passed through, and made sure we had a classic Japanese meal before ensuring we got back to our hotel safely. We would highly recommend Aissam to anyone wanting a tour of Tokyo and the surrounding areas- A+ & 5*****
