Reviews
o this was a fun, informative, interesting and tasty tour! we loved our time with our engaging guide Yoshiko. The small tour was great. the food venues interesting and the company great. we did this as a private tour and I think we got more from.t that experience. Happy to recommend.
Great Food, Mixed Experience The food on this tour was exceptional — outstanding quantity, quality, and variety. We enjoyed generous portions of delicious local specialties. However, finding the meeting spot was very difficult. The instructions pointed to a mural that had been taken down with no clear alternative. Our guide Mae was friendly and knowledgeable, but she seemed awkward and not very engaging. She didn’t encourage group introductions, so we felt disconnected and noticed other guides were much more lively. She’s nice and knows her material, but may be better suited to a different role. Hoping the company can provide support without this affecting her job. The food made it worthwhile, but better logistics and energy would improve it.
Very disappointing, far from town and no real food tasting.
