NOT FOR ANYONE GLUTEN INTOLERANT

3.00Do not go on this tour if you are GLUTEN INTOLERANT. I checked twice with the operator and was told it was totally OK. But two of the four stops had nothing for a relative to eat, and one of the remaining two only offered him a salad. The guide was great, but false advertising.
Fun and filling tour of Shinjuku.

5.00The tour leader, Emma, did a wonderful job of explaining the food and geographic history of Shinjuku. The food was top notch in quality and just the right amount to be filling. I would highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Tokyo.
