Spend about three hours with a local guide such as Yusuke, Yohei, Mao, or Momo, visiting three Shinjuku izakaya bars. You’ll eat grilled dishes, seafood, vegetables, and other snacks while moving through Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and usually Golden Gai. Drinks are included, and the small group makes entering tiny bars much easier.

“We did this experience for my birthday on a Friday night. It was great to have Yohei with us to show us around a busy and lively Shinjuku and the 3 spots we were at were awesome. Highly recommended if you want to experience Shinjuku nightlife but don't know where to start!”

4.Shanghai Authentic Dinner and Night River Cruise with Rooftop Bar Hopping Option

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 37 reviews · from $139

Enjoy a private evening with guide and driver, a local Shanghainese dinner, and a 50-minute Huangpu River cruise past the Bund and Shanghai’s lit skyline. You can cruise before dinner, add a rooftop bar stop with one included drink, and request vegetarian or other dietary options.

“Lily was an absolute delight. She was very knowledgeable, courteous, thoughtful and fun. She took us to a restaurant used by locals and the food was fantastic. The night river cruise was a wonderful way to take in the lights of the river and not too long (45 mins). We would love to have gone bar hopping but we were too tired (& old). Everything is done for you from hotel pick up to return, no stress.”
