It was a very enjoyable tour. Kaori was kind and guided us carefully throughout the tour Tsukiji is very crowded and there are many different shops, so it can be difficult to know where to go and what to see. Thanks to her professional guidance, we were able to explore smoothly and enjoy the area without any stress. I highly recommend this tour if you plan to visit Tsukiji.
Naoko was an amazing tour guide!! She was very knowledgeable about the food stalls and the history of Tsukiji. All the food recommendations were super yummy, especially the fatty Tuna Sushi. She even kindly changed our tour schedule, so I could buy an authentic Damascus kitchen knife for my friend. I really appreciated her effort, and thanks to her we had the best opportunity to talk with local people at Tsukiji.
