5.00It’s a lot of ramen, so come hungry! We had such a fun tour with Manny. He educated us on the types of ramen and where they came from. The three stops had very different types of ramen and since I am someone who never knows which ramen to order, this tour was perfect. We were able to taste many different kinds and the tour came with two drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), so that was a bonus. Manny was entertaining and the tour was well worth it!

5.00Absolutely loved this tour! All of the ramen was excellent and each shop had different options. I was impressed by the variety in choices. Sahori was top notch, extremely friendly, full of energy, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour and wish we had time to do the other tours they offer!

5.00I’ve been to Japan quite a lot, and I’ve eaten lots of Ramen here (but I’m no expert). I really enjoyed this tour, it was great! I love the concept of being able to visit three shops and try two styles per shop. This gives you the chance to try ramen you wouldn’t normally eat and compare so many different flavours. Lots of information along the way, and lovely friendly guides. I took the tour starting in Shinjuku, and highly recommend it :)

5.00We had 6 bowls of ramen in 3 different shops. Different noodle styles, different broths, and different ways to eat it. We did over eat a bit on the first destination, so I suggest pacing yourself, otherwise you will be too full to enjoy the final shop. It was delicious and very informative.
This was an awesome...

5.00This was an awesome experience! Makayla was so fun and easy to be around and super knowledgeable about all things ramen! We tried so many different types of ramen we didn’t know existed and went to shops we wouldn’t have found otherwise. So far this has been the highlight of our trip.
