築地市場プライベートフードツアーin東京

Elly was friendly and knowledgeable and made us very comfortable throughout the tour. She made some wonderful recommendations!

We didn't realize Japan was in tsunami season. Didn't matter. We loved it. My wife and preteen kiddo were instantly captivated and loved our trip. Granted, we are fairly adventurous which made it easier for us to enjoy our trip. To start, google maps sucked ass and showed us the souther entrance of the temple we were supposed to meet. so if you book and you meet, make sure to meet on the eastern side. The reason I bring this up is because Elly was very patient and put up with my stupidity, and took it in stride. So thanks Elly! We enjoyed the temple we visted first. It was a unique temple made out of granite which is something we didn't expect. We loved learning of the tradition and history. It opened all of our eyes (although our kid wasn't a fan of the incense smell but that's a him problem). The trip to the Tsukiji market was short. Elly is patient and extremely knowledgeable. We asked how long it took her to become fluent and she said 6 months. It shows! Our first stop was a "tuna steak skewer" shop. I personally didn't want to try it but that's because in the USA tuna steak is dry and un appetizing. I WAS WRONG. It was so juicy. My wife said it tasted like chicken but I thought it was so juicy and it's own thing. Elly knows her stuff! It was excellent. I shoulda had more. She knew all the streets and showed us the stalls she recommended; none of which were disappointing. Elly asked if we were adventourous and I/we realized we are not as adventourous as we thought. However she knew where to go and where we should try to eat. I'm happy my wife wanted to try the stuff she wanted to try and so did my kid. I didn't have an opinion because I wanted them to enjoy what they wanted to enjoy. However my opinion was it was all excellent, even though we couldn't finish it all because it was a lot of food. I personally like exploring myself however in this case, I'm glad we expereinced the market with Elly because she made it more digestible, showed us places we wouldn't otherwise have "found". Elly single handedly made our experinece better and we're glad we met her. She seems like a great person and if you're wondering if you should tour with her, please take our experience to say: yes, you should. Awesome tour!

Elly was absolutely fantastic! She was so helpful and patient with our group of diverse tastes. And luckily for us her English is perfect. We would have missed so much if we had toured the market alone. It was the perfect amount of time together and 1st thing in the morning was a good time to go. So glad we had Elly, it was hard to say goodbye!

Was a great way to begin our first visit to Japan by enjoying the “flavors” of Japanese food and culture.

Discovering the Fish Market with Minnie was a real pleasure. Smiling, attentive, and thoughtful, she guided us through the stalls with perfect knowledge of the place. Each stand had been carefully chosen according to our desires. Thanks to her advice and her good humor, we enjoyed the best of the market without ever having to wonder where to go. An experience that we recommend without hesitation.

Really interesting! As described! Yanni is a wonderful guide who was very helpful to know what are the good places!

Elly was so kind and knowledgeable! She knew exactly where to take us, but also listened to our wants and needs when they arouse. We would absolutely book a tour with her again, and will be telling all our family and friends! Thank you, Elly!

Elly was an amazing tour guide. She was flexible with our want to try’s and very knowledgeable. A wonderful conversationalist and photographer. If I could give 10 stars and book another tour with her I would! Worth every penny and then some.

This market has so many options, so we found it really helpful to have some guidance in selections. While I didn't realise we were capped on a spending amount, we still enjoyed it. Most food tours that I have booked have previously selected dishes and you leave full. This is not the case with this food tour; however, just know that going in. You will learn a lot and get pointers.

Elly was great, she was very easy to spend a few hours with. We had great food and learned a lot about the market and Japan in general. Highly recommend!
