3.00Our guide, Kimi was not enthusiastic or fun. She seemed to lack passion for all of the wonderful food at the market. We have been on many food tours in the US and abroad and this one was not pleasant. We were fortunate that the other people on the tour were interesting, funny and passionate about food,
Excellent tour

5.00We had an enjoyable walking tour of the Tsukiji Fish Market with our guide, Keiko. She provided a clear and engaging overview of the market, including how it operates today, how it has changed over the years, and its historical background. The pace was relaxed, the conversation was natural and informative, and we enjoyed sampling some excellent food along the way. While the tour itself was not flashy, Keiko’s knowledge and guidance made it a worthwhile and pleasant experience.
