Ethan was great. Good conversationalist and fun. He gave us some history and awesome cool eating areas which we would never have found.
It's so wonderful to hear you enjoyed exploring Tokyo with Ethan! We're glad his local knowledge, engaging conversation, and hidden food finds helped make the experience so memorable!
We did an Arigato Food Tour on our first night in Japan and loved it so much, so we booked another! Our second tour was with Ethan and it was such a great experience. We went on our last night in Japan and tried foods that we hadn't tried yet and explored a new neighborhood. Highly recommend!
Wow! What amazing praise! We absolutely love hearing how you enjoyed one tour so much that it led to another! It's wonderful that your experience with Ethan gave you the chance to discover even more of Japan on your final night, from new foods to a neighborhood you hadn't yet been able to explore. We're delighted that both tours added something truly special to your trip, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you for choosing to spend two evenings with us!
We had the pleasure to have half Japanese-half Brazilian Ully10 as a guide. She gave culinary and cultural tips and did so with great enthusiasm and authenticity. Ask for Ully if you want to do this tour of Ginza.
Hartelijk dank voor je geweldige recensie! We zijn erg blij dat je het leuk vond om Ginza te verkennen met Ully en dat je de culturele en culinaire weetjes die ze onderweg met je deelde, op prijs stelde. Haar enthousiasme en unieke achtergrond maken de ervaring echt onvergetelijk!
Super good guided tour by Francois who told us about Japanese food culture but also about Japanese everyday life etc. Very interesting! Very good selection of restaurants and food. We are very happy!
Vi är så glada att ni hade en så trevlig upplevelse med Francois! Hans kunskaper om den japanska matkulturen och vardagslivet bidrar verkligen till att göra turen både engagerande och minnesvärd. Det är underbart att höra att ni uppskattade restaurangvalen och den utsökta maten under hela kvällen!
Excellent tour with 5 great stops and all super quality food and drink We went to restaurants we would never have found ourselves We both really enjoyed our tour and the tour leader Francois was brilliant throughout
We had a great time with our tour guide, Kazuko, she introduced us to so many different types of tasty fish that we saw at the fish market. She was very knowledgeable about all the different seafood options available for us to eat for lunch. She is a very kind person and a joy to be around.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you had such a great time exploring the fish market in Tokyo with Kazuko! Her knowledge of seafood and her warm, kind nature always help make every tour she leads special! It's so wonderful to hear and means a lot to know that you enjoyed discovering all the tasty options along the way!
A really fab food tour. Wonderful Francois took us to really interesting places - eg a restaurant under railway tracks. Lots of delicious food and really learnt a lot about Japanese food. Highly recommended!
We're so glad you had such a fantastic time with Francois on your Tokyo tour! It's amazing to hear that you enjoyed all the unique spots and learned more about Japanese food along the way, after all this is what we are all about! Thank you so much for the recommendation, we hope to see you back in Tokyo again soon!
The food was wonderful, and the tour guide Vasilii was incredible. Very knowledgeable not only of the food, but of Tokyo as a whole. You can tell he really enjoys the city and especially letting people know how great it is there. Can't recommend him or the tour highly enough
We’re so glad to hear you had such a great experience! It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the food and that Vasilii’s knowledge and passion for Tokyo made the tour even more special. He truly loves sharing the city with guests, and we really appreciate your kind recommendation.
Had a great time during our tour. I suggest taking the tour early on your trio so yo can better navigate your way around town.
That's great advice! We're so happy to hear you had such a good time on the tour and found it helpful for exploring the city later.
We really enjoyed the tour. Wesley is a great guide, very friendly, knowledgable, and fun. The food stops were so much more than tasting the delicious food, so interesting to learn about the stories of the dishes coming to the table, the places, and their origins. Experiencing the tea tasting at a small tea shop made us aware that appreciation of the tea culture needs to be nurtured, especially among the younger generations. Overall it was a great experience. We highly recommend the tour!
It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed your tour with Wesley! We're so glad his friendly and knowledgeable guidance made the experience fun and engaging. Learning the stories behind each dish and exploring their origins adds so much depth, and it's fantastic that the tea tasting highlighted Japan's rich tea culture. Experiencing these details truly makes the tour memorable. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and recommendation. We're delighted to know that the combination of food, culture, and insights made your experience so rewarding and memorable!
