Birgit_S, Jul 2024
We had a fabulous night and learned a lot. Our teacher, Karl, has loads of experience, shares his knowledge effectively, and is friendly. Our photography skills have improved dramatically as a result of our tour with him, and we saw some interesting places in Tokyo we would not have seen without him, as well as learned about Japanese culture. We received a survey in advance so the tour could be customized to us and our time was dialed in and efficient. This is a great way to spend time at night in Tokyo, taking in the scene differently than one usually does when simply going out at night or going from point a to point b for a set purpose. We are heading home with some really unique street photos too! My only regret is not doing this sooner in my trip!!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

One of the biggest regrets we hear from happy clients like yourself is not booking earlier in their trip to use the skills learned for the rest of their journey. We're thrilled we could help you capture some keepers to take home nonetheless.
