Night Tour Shinjuki

Rosie_B, May 2026
We were 4 older ladies in a city very unfamiliar to us. This was great way to see Shinjuki at night - guided by a terrific guide. Shinjuki was very crowded but very colourful and exciting. Our guide watch that we ladies were able to keep up with the other tourist and always was informative about each stop we made. Very highly recommend this tour.

No-show tour operator

Debra_P, Oct 2025
I made the reservation the same day of the tour. It was approved by viator and the operator. The tour didn’t state the specific time of the tour. I reached out multiple times to the tour operator to inquire about the pick up time and I never received any reply. The tour operator was a no-show. Sadly I spent half the day (my one of two days in Tokyo) waiting to hear back about the departure time only to not get any tour at all. I do not know what happened. Even viator was not able to make contact with the operator.

Tokyo in 4 hours

In the run-up to the tour, we coordinated it well. We met on time and all the points and additional points were started. Irene was a great guide who delighted us.
