Show moreExcellent short tour of the Shimokitazawa district in Tokyo. Our guide Gabriel showed us a side of Tokyo that most tourists don’t get to experience. Online signup worked well; meeting Gabriel was easy; he was very knowledgeable and made good suggestions for other activities in the area.
Show moreI had a great time at the restaurant we went to, without Tarek it was somewhere I would have never found on my own and I feel I got to experience a side of Tokyo I would have missed out on otherwise.
