5.00We had a wonderful food tour in Tokyo with Han. He took us to a great fish restaurant, where we enjoyed fresh salmon, sashimi, and other Japanese specialties. Afterwards, we visited a pork katsu restaurant, which was another delicious experience. Han was enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. He shared both the positive and less positive sides of life in Japan in a very honest and interesting way. This made the tour feel personal and authentic. We really enjoyed the food, the stories, and Han’s company. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo.
Not very good, he was pedantic and condescending, had no sense of humor whatsoever should be teaching classes at the uni

5.00Mak, our guide, was great. He was a teacher of Japanese history and culture. We had 4 stops, two were almost full meals, one a snack and one dessert. We had saki at on stop and Okinawan beer at another. Even though it was a rainy night we had a lot of fun and met some great people while sampling the local cuisine.
Fun interesting experience
