Kaori-san was an amazing guide and even though it was new years day, I was able to try many different and delicious foods! Without Kaori's guidance I would not have known where to go, since many places are closed during the new years in Japan. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to try many different cuisines in one day. After the tour I was completely stuffed from trying so many different foods, but it was totally worth it!

Coming to Tokyo I was unfamiliar with not only the area but I spoke very little Japanese. I met with GuruGuru guide a couple weeks into my trip and they helped show me around the best spots to check out at night! I enjoyed the company as they helped me experience the drinking culture in japan. 100% would reccomend! 東京に来ると、その地域だけでなく、日本語もほとんど話せませんでした。私は旅行の2週間前にGuruGuruガイドに会いました。彼らは私が夜にチェックアウトするのに最適な場所を案内してくれました。日本での飲酒文化の体験を手伝ってくれて、会社を楽しんだ。 100%をお勧めします!

Went on this tour with friends and had a great time! I've been to Shibuya a few times before but I am not very familiar with the bars /izakayas in the area. Our guide, Yukino-san, was very accommodative and easy to talk to and overall made the tour a very enjoyable experience. She took us to a neat place frequented by many locals, with an easy-going atmosphere and lots of great food to choose from, so that was a great discovery! Would definitely like to try some of the other tours if I ever get the chance.
