Es ist eine schöne Nachtleben Tour. Unser Guide Alex war sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit, ging außerdem auf die Wünsche jedes einzelnen ein! Ich habe 3 Bars besucht die ich alleine nie gefunden hätte. Die anderen sind noch in eine weitere Bar gegangen. Beim Abschied waren alle zufrieden.

This was a nice, grown-up bar crawl. Average age of the 12 people in our group was maybe mid-30s. The dinner at the izakaya was really good, and a fun informal way to meet others who signed up. We then went to a few bars that were all interesting and unique. They were places I may not have gone into on my own, but I was glad we had a guide to take us in. Part of our group continued on to the club after the bars; part of our group went home. Everyone had Pocari Sweat in the morning... fun times!

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had on Airbnb. Alex was a super host that made our experience super memorable. He was attentive to everyone in the group and had great knowledge about the nightlife scene of Japan. He made sure each person was comfortable and having fun. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for epic night out in Japan.

What a great night out in Shibuya! Venese was an excellent guide and great conversationalist! Being a solo traveller, I wouldn't have the confidence to go to bars by myself so this was a great way to meet people and explore the night life! If the conversation ever lagged, Venese was able to easily ask questions to make us all feel at ease. Also, the rock bar was SO cool!

Great food and drinks tour. Tried the best Gyozas at this hard to find spot and met the most coolest people on this tour. Venese was a great guide.
