Our tour guide was Sho and he was amazing! So friendly and took us to see so many interesting places! The variety of food was wonderful and adventurous, we tried many new things! Definitely recommend :)
Amazing service, good and drinks were all amazing thanks to our great host!
Yukari was an awesome guide. We had a fantastic meal with more food than we could eat. She was able to show us the area between venues as well which really added to the experience. I could not recommend enough! Thank you Yukari 😊
Great tour! Sora was an awesome guide and there was a lot of food and drinks provided. We learned a ton about Japanese culture and the area as well. It was easy to book last minute for 5 people and it was still a small group at 8 people total including Sora. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful evening. It was lovely, and we had a great time. We were a small group, and our requests were very well accommodated. Whenever someone didn't want or couldn't eat something, a delicious alternative was provided. We followed Sora's recommendations and were not disappointed. Thank you for the wonderful evening.
Toshi was a gem. Thank you for bringing us around. we were so full!
The best food tour! Our guide was amazing and we had the best time while learning so much- this is a must do activity!
An excellent tour guide. Enthusiastic, with knowledge and communication skills. I would strongly recommend!
Great food tour with Noa! Enjoyed all the different food options that were offered.
What an incredible experience—would definitely do this again! I am so grateful to our lovely guide, Midori, who brought my sister and I to key areas in Shinjuku while explaining the history of the area and ways it continues to thrive in the present. Midori was so kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful, making the experience so much more memorable for a first time traveler to Tokyo. Would 1000000% recommend this tour as it is a great way to explore the city and made it easy to learn about spots to come back to. Although it is an obvious tourist activity, it didn’t feel cheesy or gimmicky. The meeting location was easy to find and get to using public transit, and a great way to meet other international travelers. Arigato gozaimasu Midori-san!
