Absolutely amazing in every way. Food was the tops. The guide Watanabe was totally over the top. Could not have asked for a better guide!!!
This was with no doubt a worth tour. Our guide Thatcher was very kind and informative. She introduced us to foods that we would have never known existed in Japan and the places she brought us to were quaint and delicious. if you like to try new things, this is the right tour for you.
Jane was a wonderful guide! We had a blast exploring some of Tokyo’s food culture and learning a little bit more about the history of Tokyo. It was fun trying new things that I’d never have tried otherwise.
This was such a fun experience! Jane was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and told us so much about local history and the food we were eating. Would definitely recommend!
The guide was great despite the language barrier, the tour was great as well, the only flaws were that the name indicated on "Expedia" was not the same as the one we were greeted with and that the tour is not planned for 1 person (it makes a lot to eat, but it remains possible).
Takuma Watanabe was a great tour guide! He was very considerate very kind and he accommodated everything for me having a bad knee. He made sure to take a slow for me. It wasvery enjoyable to have chats with and he was a great Cook and I really enjoyed this. I would recommend this for anybody the experience is memorable cost worth the value. I couldn’t even eat all the food three hours of food tasting and drinking. You’re definitely leaving over full and tipsy. Everything was very much a great house you get to have the original Japanese atmosphere that everybody wants experience. Staff is very pleasant at all. Yes most places were crowded, but they always have for us.. I would highly recommend this if you’re looking to get something off regular tourist sites
Nabe was a terrific guide, so easy to talk to and very informative! We were able to see places we would never see before, very grateful for this amazing experience!
It was really good food tour with our guide Joe.
Super food tour! Jane took us to places we wouldn't otherwise find, and picked out the specialties of the region. Belly full.
The food tour was great! It took a while to find the starting spot but once you get there, start a wonderful experience! You can taste a lot of different local specialties. Jane was a fantastic guide! Highly recommended!
