“Fantastic tour and guide”
Sam was awesome -- he's super knowledgable and this tour hits the highlights of two neighborhoods in Tokyo best explored at night. Right after I booked the tour, I sent him a message asking for a non-smoking izakaya for dinner since my parents are sensitive to smoke. He quickly responded saying he would do that and found us a great place. We really loved Sam as a tour guide and learned a ton -- I highly recommend him!

Aissam E.
Wow, thank you for this wonderful feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and that the non-smoking izakaya was a hit with your parents. It was a pleasure to quickly sort that out for you. I had a fantastic time guiding your family through the nightlife and am delighted you learned a lot and loved the experience. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated! All the best, Sam
