Really good tour! Great job of incorporating a lot of different food types
Fantastic food, great guide Daisy showed us so many hidden gems! We enjoyed every one a lot and now have an entirely different understanding of Japanese street food culture. 10 out of five stars. Thanks a lot!
Brian was great. He was knowledgeable on Japanese history and food. We walked and sampled great food for two hours. Don’t eat before going as there was so many different delicious tastings. Going at the start of our holiday really helped also as we knew what we liked and how to order. Thank you Brian.
Makayla was absolutely great . Great food choices. Very personable and knowledgeable. Great host and tour guide .
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Daisy. She shared interesting information and took us to eight very different food stalls. The food was delicious and portion sizes were generous. Would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys trying a variety of Japanese street food.
Fantastic guide, food, and overall conversation! I had a wonderful time and was REALLY glad that I signed up for the tour.
All the spots that our guide, Makayla, took us to were a 10/10. Not only did we eat the food, but we also learned more about the restaurants and the area around us. It was a very informative and engaging experience and I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone :)
We had our tour on a Sunday with Makayla. It turned out to be just my daughter and I. This tour was in a less touristy area. All the food we tried were delicious and tasty. We enjoyed learning about the area and talking to Makayla. Highly recommended!
OMG. Great time. About an hour and a half walk where we were grazing on a variety of foods from store fronts. I believe we had 7 foods and do you should pace yourself. Generous portions. My wife could eat it all but my son and i had no problems
Makayla was a wonderful guide who was knowledgeable and fun to go walking with. The food choices were varied and very different from one another and I really enjoyed the experience.
