Great intro to Osaka

EK and Kurt were fantastic guides, taking the group to laneways, and great eateries. Along the way they explained the history of the Dotonbori area.

Great afternoon in Shibuya with Clara!

Clara was an excellent guide for Shibuya. We visited numerous local favorites sampling different styles of regional cuisines: sushi, ramen, okonomiyaki, and a number of dishes from Nagasaki where Clara has spent time in addition to Tokyo. She knows the Shibuya area well and she really wanted to share her knowledge with us. We had fun learning about her experiences in Japan. I appreciated Clara showing us the sights and choosing such great places to eat as there are SO many options.

Ethan, our guide, was great. We had visited Tokyo before, but not this area. Learned a lot about the area, went to restaurants we never would have found on our own. Communication and pace was excellent. Glad we did it.

Thanks Melissa

I had the tour with Melissa and two other couples. Melissa was very knowledgeable about the food and area. She excellently navigated us through the crowded streets and I was so full by the end!

Hiroshima food experience

Masa provided us with a great experience of Hiroshima food and culture. We experienced a local beer brewery, sake bar, pastries & the highlight was the best okonomiyaki in Hiroshima! Masa was very generous with his time and ensured our tastes were catered for. This tour costs a lot more than other food tours and, whilst we enjoyed it and Masa was great, I’m not sure it is worth the money.

A great start to Tokyo

A fantastic intro to Tokyo! Walked around to see some area highlights, and stopped in places we wouldn’t have on our own to try different bites. The ramen was my favorite!

Great local spots, not just tourist spots, fun tour of the streets of Shibuya! Very fun!

We had a wonderful time on the Best of Shibuya food tour. Saika was such a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. We definitely tried food we would not have tried without a tour guide. One of the best parts of the tour was walking through parts of Shibuya, like beautiful and lively streets off the beaten path. She also took lots of fun pictures and shared with the group. It was a terrific way to get our trip started on our first full day/night in Tokyo. I highly recommend!!! Thank you, Saika!

Best experience in Tokyo!

This experience was one of the highlights of our trip in Tokyo! Alex was an amazing guide and was very informative. Aside from all the great food we got to try, we got to see and experience the bustling area of Shinjuku Golden Gai and learned a lot about the history and culture of this vibrant area of Tokyo. Highly recommend and make sure you request Alex as your guide!

Wonderful introduction to local Japanese Izakaya ( pubs).

We had a wonderful experience with Sandra who took us to two different Izakaya to sample both fish/ seafood and chicken. We learned more about eating etiquette in Japan and tried some of the local beverages. Ended the evening with a final drink in a very cosy bar. The Japanese sauvignon blanc was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Guide

Our guide, Akiko, was excellent. She was very personable and knowledgeable. Akiko was very accommodating when we said there was something we wanted to try or wanted to avoid. All around excellent tour guide and worthwhile experience.

Great street food tour in Osaka!

Great tour! Made multiple stops and tried amazing street food. Our guide, Natsumi, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She introduced us to food at multiple stops and explained the origins of them. We loved it all and having Natsumi leading us made it all so simple. Thanks!!

Tour and guide were fantastic

The food was wonderful, and the tour guide Vasilii was incredible. Very knowledgeable not only of the food, but of Tokyo as a whole. You can tell he really enjoys the city and especially letting people know how great it is there. Can't recommend him or the tour highly enough

Teenagers and kids will love this!

We had so much fun! My kids were being entertained by our guide, Daniel, and he even got the 10 year-old to try sushi (he ate four pieces!) Our teenagers were so entertained and laughed all night while trying new foods and learning a lot about food customs. The parents got a special treat too. Our guide-in-training, Alex, was able to spend quality time answering all on our questions so we felt like we really had a special time as well.

Aleef rocks!

Aleef Daniel was an incredible tour guide! He shared with us his favorite local Hiroshima cuisines (okonomiyaki was our favorite) and was very knowledgable about the foods and the area. He was nice and very easy to get along with, from start to finish. We had an incredible time and would do this tour again!
