Highlight of our time in Tokyo! Must do - We had SO MUCH FUN on this tour. Can’t recommend enough. We will definitely do this tour again when we come back. Suemi was amazing and we got some background about the Shinjuku area while having fun. Drinks were great, food was great and we were definitely in some off the beaten path bars. I tried some foods I wouldn’t normally eat and ending up liking them!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience - This was literally the most fun thing I did in Tokyo with my friends! Please don't think too much, just trust me and book it. It can be hard to make friends on a short trip to Tokyo, but thanks to the structure of this tour and the expert knowledge of our guide, Dan, we were able to easily connect with the group. Everyone had such a unique personality and backstory, so getting to know each other was so much fun! Dan took us to several izakayas where the food and drinks were included in the fee. I was really surprised about that, because the value was so good. I'm allergic to fish, but she made sure to order food just for me. He is so caring about everyone, it was really touching. The second place we went had Japanese singing and it was so much fun! Seriously a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

A great tour, be prepared for a hangover! - We were very interested in visiting Golden Gai, as it only comes alive at night, and it is mainly for locals. As such, we thought a tour of the area was the best bet. We explored the area first, and walked though one of the old bar strips. We didn't stay there, but were taken to a hidden bar for locals, which was up an elevator. This was fun, as you got to sit and meet all the other guests on the tour. I didn't know it included food along the way, so that was a nice surprise. We visited another bar after this, which had entertainment. We drank a drink that was the equivalent to Japanese Vodka. You could drink anything you wanted. You will not be waiting for a drink for long, they are brought to your table. We ended up in a karaoke bar, but that was optional for people who wanted to keep going. In any case, the tour went much longer than expected, and we enjoyed meeting all the other guests. The tour guides were young, vibrant and friendly.

Awesome time to be had - Had an awesome time on this walking tour.
We were taken to places where foreigners would not normally go. This made it even more enjoyable as the staff and locals in attendance were welcoming and friendly.
I highly recommend this tour.
We even kicked on afterwards at karaoke.
I would do the tour again if I returned to Japan.
Suemi is a great guide, fun and entertaining.
