Great food market tour

5.00Great experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, she encouraged us to try things but did not push. We tried lots of different food at the market that I don’t think we would have tried if we did not have a guide. She was very accommodating to us as some in our family were more adventurous eaters and others not so much. Well worth it! Also, suggest you go early like we did, the market got more crowded as the morning went on.
Elly was super friendly...

5.00We had a few hours to spare before we had to leave Tokyo so I booked this tour at the very last minute and it did not disappoint. Elly was such a lovely guide and took us through the Honganji Temple & Tsukiji Market, shared great stories, and had awesome recommendations on food & snacks around the market. While the market was crowded, she's made navigating through it really easy and has made the whole experience so pleasant with easy conversation. I am still dreaming about the snow crab we had and the dried seafood snacks we brought home. Truly made our 1st day in Japan an amazing experience.
Great Tour with Elly!

5.00⸻ Elly was a fantastic tour guide! She shared her deep knowledge of Japanese culture and food as someone who grew up in Tokyo, and we really appreciated her unique perspective. She also took us to some of the best sashimi I’ve ever tasted. On top of that, she’s incredibly kind and warm. I highly recommend taking a market tour with Elly!
The best private tour, we ate all the things.

5.00Our guide was wonderful. A++++, she was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and we tasted all the things. Do not miss this private tour. She even helped my husband in a custom knife store with translational so he could find the chef’s knife best for our kitchen back home. Highly, highly recommend.
Elly is the best!

5.00This is a must-book! Elly was so sweet and welcoming, we loved our morning with her! She knows a lot and is very knowledgeable about the area and what the best stands are at the market. We never would have known which stands are the best to try, so we are so grateful we had her. She didn’t steer us wrong once. She makes navigating the market a breeze and will accommodate anything you’re looking for. It’s been one of our favorite parts of the trip :)
Great tour for our family!

5.00We had an amazing morning with Elly. She was knowledgeable, spoke great English, had interesting and fun facts for parents and kids alike. She also had great picks for where to stop for small bites. We tried everything we wanted to, and left happy, full, and grateful to have done a tour instead of walking around on our own. Thank you Elly!
Must-do experience!

5.00Hands down our favorite experience in Tokyo! Elly expertly navigated us through the busy market, advised delicious foods to try, shared about the history, and answered all our questions about it and Japan, in general. She was sweet, kind, and easy to talk with so the tour flew by. I’m glad we splurged for the private tour, because the foods and conversation was tailored to what most interested us. Don’t miss this tour!
Great guide if you’re looking for flexibility and personability

5.00Elly was a great guide. She was very patient with my 4 year old and 2 year old and helped us all find delicious things to eat. She was so sweet and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Amazing! Don’t hesitate.

5.00Booking a private tour for our first morning in Japan was the best. Elly was wonderful! Don’t hesitate! A leisurely pace and not only information about the market, but a great resource for so many questions we had. Canadians 55& 66 years old. Our first trip to Japan and Elly set us up for the next 12 days of adventure. Thanks so much!
