Great affordable tour. Highly recommended.
A great and affordable way to explore Tokyo. The tour is well organized, and the light show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is a nice addition. The guides also take photos and videos throughout the tour and share them afterwards. Overall, a fun experience at a very good price. Tip: take water with you, it's not included in the tour.

Fabulous E scooter night tour
We did this tour 27/11, as a couple. We had the best time. We laughed, got to know the area from a locals view and also seen an amazing light show on the government building, whilst drinking warm tea on the grass. We loved every minute of this e scooter tour and loved doing it at night. Safety was always the priority and guidance given.
Thanks for an amazing evening, claire and mark from australia/ UK :) x

Absolutely Fabulous – Far Exceeded Our Expectations
We joined the E-Scooter Ninja Guided Tour of Shinjuku and the surrounding areas, and it was absolutely fabulous — so much more than we ever expected! The whole experience was fun, smooth, and such a unique way to explore the city.
A massive thanks to our two guides, who were fantastic from start to finish. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while still keeping the tour exciting. They took us to great viewpoints, hidden spots we’d never have found on our own, and shared lots of interesting local insights along the way.
We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo. It was a real highlight of our trip!

No professional
My appointment was at 3:00 pm and no one arrived. I tried communicating to them and no one responded to me. I finally got response the next day and ask about a refund they made response worst way to start a trip.
