I highly recommend the food tour, and Ami was a wonderful tour guide who answered all our questions and created a great atmosphere. It's a fantastic opportunity to experience the diversity of Japanese cuisine, and there's more than enough to eat :-)

We had a terrific time trying the different foods and wandering through parts of the city we hadn't explored yet. In addition to the variety of food, we appreciated the bits of history and explanations of why parts of the city are the way they are. My only request would have been to meet closer to the first tasting stop. In my humble opinion, it is not necessary to stop and start at the same place if that means you are meeting and then walking 10+ minutes before the first tasting.

Thierry is excellent tour guide! Took us to all eateries as scheduled, explained all different delicacies served. He’s making mindful of people’s individual needs. He’s well organized and managed the time as scheduled. We enjoyed all the food on this tour. Highly recommend it, especially first time Japan visitor's.
