Best Way to Experience Shinjuku!

5.00My wife and I had the best time on this tour. It was a perfect way to get the lay of the land in Shinjuku during the early days of being there. Our guide, Jun, was able to weave cultural, historical and tons of food knowledge into the entire experience. I would recommend this to anyone. Jun was seriously the best guide…and hilarious too!!!
Highly recommend

5.00Elena was fantastic! She was very energetic and enthusiastic about hosting our food tour. Each restaurant selection was different and the menu choices were perfect. She shared get information about each area we visited or just walked through. Most importantly she knew the best spots for pictures and took amazing pictures of us during the tour.

5.00This is a great fun informative activity. It takes about three hours and I estimate it's about 3km walking in all . Really good local food and plenty of it. We stopped at 4 eateries and ate around 14 dishes, drinks are also included. Matheus, our guide, did a great job. It was fun as well as very interesting.
Highly recommended
