What travelers think of our Tokyo experiences
Chisato was a great guide with lots of passion! I had a great time with her even though I was on a solo trip. She made me feel like I was with a friend. She tried her best to go with my preferences while planning our route. It was great and I had the best whiskey I've ever tried.
Show moreI had a great time! Alberto was very patient and considerate. The fireworks display and drone show were amazing. Thank you!
Show moreAntonio showed us a great time in Golden Gai. We really wanted to check out a few of the more local/less touristy little bars, and he knew the right one. Great memories!
Show moreOur guide, Kenji, met us at our hotel and showed us a great time through the nightlife of Tokyo. That was even after we asked for some last minute changes he was able to be flexible and find some great spots for us to enjoy. Kenji was knowledgeable and thorough and i would highly recommend his tours.
Show moreMichael was an exceptional host. We go to see the totally non touristy side to Tokyo with lots of detailed cultural insights. Food, drink, nightlife, neighbourhoods. We covered it all. Can not recommend enough.
Show moreWe did 4 different tours in Tokyo. "Tokyo's nocturnal playground", and "Eat and drink like a local"; this two where probably the highlights of our trip; both host, Kenji and Sergio; they are fun, knowledge and very helpful. I will definitely recommend this company; we change few times the days and book last minute and they were super accommodating, so if you don't know Japan you definitely need somebody like them!

What you’ll do
Dive into the whirlwind of Tokyo by night, experiencing its unique bar culture as you hop between ramshackle izakaya bars and standing tachinomiya taverns - it won’t be long before you’re cheering ‘kanpai!’ with noisy locals over cups of sake.
Discover that Japanese drinking culture is more about the food that goes with those drinks, as your host effortlessly orders plates of grilled gyoza dumplings and karaage (Japanese fried chicken). Then, you could throw yourself into your private booth in an ultra-modern karaoke bar from tiny yokocho (alleyways), which makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
