- We throughly enjoyed the bar hopping tour! Our guide was knowledgeable about Tokyo and Japan, sprinkling in facts all throughout the tour. The places that we went, we would have not gone to on our own. We went on the tour the 2nd day in Tokyo and were so glad that we did. It gave us the confidence to go into the tiny bars and restaurants the rest of our trip. There is plenty of food and alcoholic drinks during the tour! One of our stops was even all you can drink! The guide took photos and air dropped them to us that night. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

- Kazu and Yuki were very nice! Kazu was very knowledgeable and he took us to many places around Shinjuku that our group normally wouldn't have gone to without a guide. It was a great experience all around. And the drinks and food were excellent as well 😀

Great Experience if You Are Looking to Go to Places that Most Tourists aren’t Aware of… - This was my first time in Shinjuku and I was really looking forward to checking out the local cuisine and going to places a lot of tourists may miss. This tour does not disappoint! My tour guide was Yohei and he was really laid back and knowledgeable about the area and took the group to some great spots. He also showed us some other local historical places in the area and gave the historical background on each place. This tour is great for solo travelers as well and it was fun meeting fellow travelers from all over the world. I will definitely be booking another tour with MagicalTrip when I return to Japan.

Naoki gave us a stellar tour of Shinjuku - Naoki was an excellent tour guide, he instantly made our whole group comfortable and helped establish rapport. After that it was smooth sailing, as Noaki took us on a curated bar hopping adventure through Shinjuku, and helped point out other places we could return to afterwards. It truly was a magical tour!
