5.00Yusuke was an amazing Tour Guide. He took us into smaller places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. His English was better than ours (lol). Everything was perfect. The food kept coming. You will not be hungry after this tour. A+

5.00This is a great way to experience izakayas (sorry for the spelling) - with a group you get to try a bit of everything. Trying to experience everything in Tokyo can be a bit intimidating so this makes it easy. Fresh ingredients made it such a great night. Our guide Nobu was terrific- full of energy and so knowledgeable- thanks

5.00This was a really very entertaining and interesting and above all culinary special Izakaya tour with Nobu.. we visited three very different small restaurants, could choose between many drinks and especially the fish restaurant I found really exceptionally good. This would never have been found as a tourist in Tokyo.. thanks to Nobu for this great experience
