Streetfood Tour Dotonbori Osaka
Wir haben eine tolle Steetfood Tour durch Dontonbori mit Lee gemacht. Seine super Art hat uns neue Seiten der japanische Küche gezeigt. Lee, danke noch einmal dafür. Auch für die vielen Hintergrundinformationen. Die Tour ist sehr empfehlenswert.

Informative and delicious tour with Ully.
We had a wonderful tour with Ully. After a visit to a temple, and a traditional Japanese breakfast in a local market, we perused the Tsajiki market selecting items (e.g. fish, strawberries, fresh wasabi we would grate ourselves) for a picnic we enjoyed on the market rooftop. Following the picnic, we visited a shrine and tour the exterior market some more. Ully's English was exceptional - it sounded as if she'd lived in the US, though she never has - enabling a little more free flowing dialogue and opportunity to ask questions about Ully and culture of Japan than with some of our other guides. I suspect her youthful enthusiasm for running tours also contributed to her candor and ease.

Intro to Tokyo Tour
Loved the tour, Ully was very knowlegable, and we even fit in a temple and a shrine. We'd recommend her again! It was a good intro to Tokyo

Incredible food tour
Amazing tour with Alex - showing us some amazing hidden food gems and pointing out heaps of interesting places along the way. The amount and quality of the food we tasted was incredible and all of the information shared helped us appreciate it all the more. Highly recommend

Fun morning at Tsukiji with Vasile
We booked a private breakfast tour and had a great time with Vasile. He is a very tall Russian who’s also lived in the USA, so he had a great perspective on what makes Japanese culture unique. He’s also a former oysterman and has worked in restaurant supply so has a wealth of seafood knowledge. We started with a quick stop by Buddhist temple and orientation to the area, then Vasile walked us through the restaurant stalls, seafood vendors and miscellaneous shops of the Tsukiji area. Along the way we sampled some snacks like ebi senbei (shrimp pressed very flat into a rice cracker) and fresh oysters. He was also collecting little bites along the way, and took us up to have a picnic above the market, with some delicious sashimi and also excellent strawberries and freshly ground wasabi (the real stuff), accompanied by a mid-morning sake flight. It was a fun treat to have a knowledgeable guide take us through the hustle and bustle of Tsukiji, a classic Tokyo experience. Communication with Arigato was easy, clear and prompt.

Enjoying learning about Japanese drinks and food
We had a fantastic time with Shigeki visiting a number of bars and restaurants in the Shimbashi/Ginza area. We thoroughly enjoyed trying the different Sake, Whisky, Cocktails and Food.

Gotta do this tour!!!
The only thing negative about this tour is we did it on our last day in Tokyo rather than our first. Claire was a terrific guide and host. She did a great job with our group of eight not only taking us to dine absolutely terrific food spots (come hungry because it’s a lot of food!) but also taught us lots about the history of the area as well as teaching us some of the language, customs, and etiquette of the area. We can’t say enough great things about this tour & Claire. Definitely worth it. Oh, and Claire sounds pretty good at the ending Karaoke portion of the tour even if you were light on the sake and beer! :).

Don't miss this tour!
Wiw! Awesome! Our guide, Vasily was incredible. He was informative, fun & really made the tour great. So fun to experience the fish market and to have a picnic of the things he purchased along the way. We even had some sake. The food was delicious. The whole tour was even better than I hoped or expected. Thanks V. Mikhailov!

Fun for the whole family!
Delicious food! Pace was great for my 10 year old and 1 year old. Great family adventure. My 10 year old loved the sweets and the gachapon stop. Saida was very knowledgeable and kind with my kids. She was a great tour guide, and I would highly recommend her again!

A foodies dream!
Daniel was our tour guide and he was excellent!! His theme while giving us the tour was that everything is hidden in plain sight. This tour is a foodies dream. Large portions and multiple stops skip the meal prior to the tour!! He was knowledgeable about the Japanese culture and cuisine and he shared his own story throughout the tour. Even though the tour was scheduled to end at 7pm he went beyond to finish the tour.

Greatest food tour of Japan!
It was a great experience! The food was amazing and our tour guide Daniel was the most enthusiastic tour guide we ever met. Our whole trip in Japan we said: food, bar, food, bar! Thank you for showing us the hidden spots in Shinjuku and gave us a wonderful experience! We will never forget this tour!!

A great night of delicious treats
This was a brilliant evening exploring all the hidden gems in the Shibuya area. We learned all about local food and tried countless new delights, including a tasting flight of Saki, for which we now have a better appreciation. Our guide Joshua was charming company throughout a fun evening and even got us speaking a couple of words of Japanese. We can thoroughly recommend this tour.

Diverse soorten eten proeven
Mae was onze gids. Heel vriendelijk enthousiast. Uitleg over omgeving, voedsel, cultuur, gewoontes. Hoewel ze niet Japans was, wist ze wel veel en sprak ze de taal. Zorg dat je veel trek hebt, want je gaat veel eten. Leuk om aan begin vakantie te doen. Diverse soorten eten op plekken waar je zelf misschien niet direct naar binnen zou lopen maakten het heel leuk. Goede schoenen en water heb je altijd nodig met wandelen. Wij vonden de afstand goed te doen.

Amüsant!
Sehr stimmungsvoll. Lee ist für uns ein „Westküsten-Amerikaner aus dem Bilderbuch“, mit großem Japan-Herzen. Es war unterhaltsam!
