Lovely food, nice walks through Tokyo Shinjuku area. Well organized. I really enjoyed it! Good experience to book while spending the night alone in Tokyo. Thanks to our very friendly guide who told us lots about Japanese culture. Also had fun with the Australian couple that joined the tour. Personally, I wanted to choose between visiting a Sumo Wrestling tournament and the Foodie Tour but I am happy I have chosen for this one. Next visit, it's going to be Sumo Wrestling time :-)

My guide was a young student who spoke perfect English, knew the area and was a lot of fun! We were able to experience a couple of firsts for both of us together and the food, while not hard to find out of the way stuff, was still excellent!
