5.00Tadashi was our group’s guide for the food tour and he did an excellent job. All the restaurants he took us too had delicious food and at each restaurant he was able to provide thoughtful insights into what made each restaurant special and why it was included on the food tour. Our group had a fantastic experience and it was because Tadashi did an incredible job.
