Shibuya Tour - One of my Holiday Highlihjts

5.00I am now at the end of my tour of Japan. Of all the things I have done, my private walking tour with Fabian is one of the top five things that I did. He was a knowledgeable, interesting and relatable tour guide, who was also a great listener. We spoke about football and books and tourism in general. We went to Yoyogi Park, saw the great Shibuya Crossing and went through several shopping streets in Shibuya. For anyone wanting a great, personal, informative tour with a guide who listens as well as he informs, this is the tour for you. Thank you, Fabian and all the best! Wi
Discovering Shibuya with Riccardo: A Journey Through Time and Culture

5.00Our guided walking tour through the heart of Shibuya was an unforgettable journey through Tokyo’s contrasts—where centuries-old traditions meet cutting-edge culture. Starting at the serene Shenji Shrine, we were gently immersed in Japan’s spiritual heritage, a peaceful introduction before diving into the lively maze of Shibuya’s backstreets. From there, the tour led us through hidden alleyways, indie boutiques, and tucked-away eateries that most tourists would easily miss. These hidden gems offered a glimpse into the authentic, everyday life of Tokyo—far from the typical postcard scenes. A special mention must go to our guide Riccardo, whose passion and deep knowledge truly elevated the experience. He blended historical facts, cultural insights, and personal anecdotes with warmth and enthusiasm, making the tour feel both informative and personal.

5.00We had a wonderful time with Mark. He was most accommodating and contacted us even before we arrived in Japan. The information he shared helped us to navigate a very busy airport, and after meeting up with him we were able to find our way around both on the metro and the different shopping areas and places of interest. Both my cousin and more importantly my teenage granddaughter was very happy with her shopping and sightseeing experience. Thank you Mark for a great experience.
Great tour, well worthwhile

2.00Tourists were served weird food that we don't eat such as chicken butt, chicken skin, chicken sausage with cartilage and bones inside, and chicken sushi. Also was told we needed 5000 yen for the tour when you actually need 7000 yen
