Good Tour - I learned a lot on the tour. Gray was a good tour guide. You just can’t get that info walking thru the neighborhood on your own as nothing is in English. The only glitch we had was that we could not find the tour meeting point which was supposed to be at a police box. I was looking for a telephone box. I finally had to ask someone.

Great tour of Shinjuku - Danny was amazing!!! This tour gave us the insights to all those streets we have roamed over the last few days. To hear the stories behind the buildings, alleyways and people there opened your eyes. Highly recommend this tour. Easy paced and so informative.

Exiting - Polina was very professional guide, with a very positive energy, knowing very well the area. She di scribed the dark life of the miserable people in the place but without being boring.

Eye-Opening, entertaining, and incredibly insightful tour with Dani! - We absolutely loved the Shinjuku Kabukicho Night Walking Tour with Dani! This tour was so much more than just sightseeing—it was a deep dive into parts of Tokyo we would never have discovered or understood on our own. Dani has a fantastic sense of humor and a wealth of knowledge, making the tour both fun and incredibly informative. He doesn't shy away from discussing the more controversial and complex sides of Tokyo's nightlife and social issues, which gave the whole experience so much depth. It was fascinating to explore areas with someone who could explain the history, culture and modern realities behind what we were seeing. Dani was super outgoing, engaging, and answered every question we had. Highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to understand Tokyo beyond the surface. Not your typical tourist experience—and that's exactly what makes it so worthwhile!
