Excellent food tour in Shinjuku!
I had a very good experience on this food tour in Shinjuku. The guide was super friendly and welcoming from the very first moment, and made everything very relaxed and entertaining. We tried very delicious food and visited places that I probably never would have found on my own. Totally recommended if you want to eat well and get to know Shinjuku in a more local way! 🍜🍻

Great👍
I had great time with my tour guide Ali. He is kind, friendly, knows many stories and hidden spots at the area of kabukicho. Definitely worth it the price and I strongly recommend this tour.

Short, but worth it.
My tour guide, Ali was great, his knowledge of Tokyo was fantastic, although it was a short trip, he packed so much in, he took me to some very shady areas, haha, right off of the beaten track, some places I would have never seen. What a great experience and some great photos too. Thanks, Ali

Better than I thought
Wasn't expecting much judging from the lack of reviews, but had a blast with Loik! Highly recommend!

A wonderful journey
One of the best ways to experience Tokyo is simply by walking at night. The atmosphere is peaceful, the neon lights are mesmerizing, and the city feels both vibrant and relaxing at the same time. I would definitely do it again.
