5.00Elena was fantastic! She was very energetic and enthusiastic about hosting our food tour. Each restaurant selection was different and the menu choices were perfect. She shared get information about each area we visited or just walked through. Most importantly she knew the best spots for pictures and took amazing pictures of us during the tour.

5.00This is a great fun informative activity. It takes about three hours and I estimate it's about 3km walking in all . Really good local food and plenty of it. We stopped at 4 eateries and ate around 14 dishes, drinks are also included. Matheus, our guide, did a great job. It was fun as well as very interesting.
Highly recommended

4.00We 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...

5.00Thierry 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.
