Must do while in Shinjuku! - Absolutely brilliant tour guide. I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour and all the history of the areas. My favorite was definitely Godzilla and Golden Gai. Highly recommend.

Efficient visit to the... - Efficient visit to the variety and history of Shinjuku, especially post-WWII and the current landscape. Terry was a great guide, adapting to the size of the group (mine was small) to give a distinct experience for the tour. I have been to Japan and Tokyo before, and even on a Shinjuku tour that was excellent, but this added to my knowledge and experience.

A good introduction to Shinjuku district and Japanese culture. - Very varied visit. Nao introduced us to many things: l history of the neighborhood, culture, Shinto, culinary specialties,... He spoke very good English so we asked him a lot of questions. I recommend especially at the beginning of the stay to know the basics.

Nighttime walking tour in Shinjuku - Our guide Terry did a great job on our night walking tour of Shinjuku. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable and took us to many local scenes. Shinjuku at night gives off such a great vibe. This is a must do tour if you don’t have a lot of free time but still want to soak up the local atmosphere.

Fabulous Tour - Our guide, Naoya, was really friendly and full of useful knowledge that he was happy to share with us. We saw and leaned a lot in a short time and would thoroughly recommend this walking tour.

Almost Private Tour - Many thanks for the tour even when so I was the only participant.
I’d like the intro to Japanese religion and how to behave on shrines and temples.

Not worth it! - We have done many walking tours in different cities and every time we learn something new about the history and the neighborhoods, this one was disappointing , the details about the area were not approrpirate and the stops ( a spa? And a gorilla exhibition in a hotel) not what we would have thought would be relevant stops on a tour of Shinjuku!
