4.00Really enjoyed the trip! Was very confused on how to find meeting place as there was no Victor sign or anything. Instructions could be more clear with photos.

4.00Sophia was knowledgeable about the food, culture, and language. She ordered for us, respected our wishes and was easy to talk to! The food was of course delicious and we overall loved our experience! So fun to be out and see the places the locals go to hangout, eat, and drink! We went to three locations. We were able to order two drinks at two of the locations. Plenty of food!! — and a good variety!

4.00We had a great time with Kazu. The other booking had cancelled so we had a private food tour. Lucky us! Kazu showed my mother and myself some new foods we had never tried and showed us some locals only areas. We really enjoyed the rooftop recreation area. We happened upon the Saturday of Halloween for our tour and really enjoyed the people watching. Kazu taught us about Japanese culture and gave us insight into manners, how to eat specifics foods and answered all our questions. This tour is best for people unfamiliar with Japanese food and who want a taste of local flavors.
Tokyo local experience.

5.00Awesome experience with Ryu. Food was excellent. We went to a very local sushi and tempura place. The yakitori at another restaurant was also very good. You will not go home hungry. Definitely worth doing.
Sophia was a great guide and took the time to make sure we were happy and explained the ways of Japan.

5.00Guru was an absolute delight to spend a couple of hours with. He provided an excellent introduction to the culinary scene in Tokyo. His easygoing nature and ability to communicate effectively made the experience feel like we were hanging out with our grandson. I highly recommend Guru!

Bad. Guide a no show without telling us.

1.00After planning our trip to Tokyo around a food experience that relied on a food tour and recommendations of an experienced guide…guide was a no show. We were left stranded in Shibuya with no idea of where or what to eat. Tour operator responded to my text saying guide had a kidney stone attack and wasn’t able to tell anyone that he couldn’t make tour. Tour operator communicated with someone in letting me know there would be no tour 20 minutes after I asked why guide was a no show, but no one could inform the six of us even a half hour earlier? A prompt refund was offered but a great disappointment none the less.
