Guide was not good

3.00Boring. Seriously. The guide was awful. He rushed us through the market, did not explain anything when the auction was happening. Then when we were in the market, he ran across someone he said he'd just recently met and this person could be a tour guide for us. He seemed intent on pushing us to do that.
Such a Unique Tour....be sure to book it!

5.00Well getting up at 4:30AM might not sound easy, but since we had just arrived in Japan it actually wasn't too bad to be up early that day. Getting this private tour was a great idea and turned into a perfect experience. Yumi our guide was so knowledgeable and great to be around. This is such a unique tour that I would highly recommend. You will see plenty of shrines during your stay but this was special. Again I want to thank Yumi for a great morning.
Wonderful tour, Nobby is a rockstar

Unforgettable Tokyo fish market tour with Yumi

5.00We had a truly wonderful experience with Yumi as our guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable and really knows how to paint the full picture throughout the tour. At the start, she gave us a few different options on how we could begin, and we chose to arrive early so we could get a great window spot for the viewing. Yumi was prepared and happy to answer any questions we had. After the Tuna Auction at the Toyosu fish market, we went to a shop close by where they served amazing sushi made with high quality tuna and other fresh fish because we wanted to try it for ourself, it was absolutely delicious. From there, we headed together to the old Tsukiji fish market. Unlike the modern and quiet Toyosu, Tsukiji was full of life and energy, offering a completely different atmosphere that was just as fascinating. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and especially Yumi as a guide. She made the experience smooth, engaging, and truly memorable.
We did the machi tour...

5.00We did the MACHI TOUR JAPAN's Toyosu & Tsukiji fish market tour with Nobby which was fantastic! He gave such clear and engaging explanations that really brought the market and Japanese culture to life. His food recommendation at the end was delicious and we would never have found it by ourselves. He also guided us to great meals later in our trip. Highly recommended! Alex and Val
