Had a great time as a solo female traveler and met several other solo travelers as well. Venese makes you feel so welcome and all of the spots we visited were very unique and memorable.

Highly recommend this tour, especially if you're near the start of your trip because you'll learn lots about Japan and Tokyo. Venese is lovely and a lot of fun to go drinking with, pretty sure we all had a great time, just a shame the metro closes so early!

Honestly, it's been the best night out since I have been to Japan 3 weeks ago. It was thoughtful, inviting and best of all I get to meet family. The co-host from the sane town which made the experience extra special. I would like to give him a special thanks and a note of appreciation for creating a great vibe with the various party & guest.

Great for travellers looking to meet new people and experience bar hopping in Shibuya. Thoroughly enjoyed my time and didn't even realize the tour ended until Venese bade farewell.

Amazing experience, unforgettable night out! This was the second time I attended this Experience, first time being in 2019. As soon as I learned the COVID travel restrictions had been lifted, my plans to return had to include this again. Youre going to visit spots that youll never be able to find on your own. Every location has its own distinctive personality and flavor. Venese has a talent for uncovering hidden gems in this densely packed city of Tokyo. Shes sweet, personable, and makes sure everyone is comfortable and well taken care of. If you want a unique and memorable experience, make sure to add this to your plans.
