Our guide Theo was very nice informative and showed us great places to eat and walk around. we felt well taken care of on our first day in Japan. highly recommend this tour
Excellent bang for your buck! The guide was so helpful and fun to talk to even between resturaunts and it is just a great social experience overall to sit down with strangers and try food none of you have had before.
We had an absolutely wonderful time with our tour guide Elena. She was enthusiastic and friendly, and made us feel special.
Excellent food tour of the Shinjuku area. Matheus was very personable, and we enjoyed all of the dining establishments.
Jack was amazing. Very kind and knowledgeable. True asian hospitality shines even through a food tour.
Jack was great! We had a really good time, very knowledgeable!
Definitely worth doing a food tour because you are shown local gems and discussions about the Japanese culture in between. Highly recommend to start your time in tokyo by doing this tour as a great intro to Tokyo.
Elena was great! Very funny! Cool place. Good food
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first trip to Japan, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Japanese food and culture! Mak was an incredible tour guide—fun, engaging, and full of interesting information about the foods, neighborhoods, and local traditions. Every stop was delicious, and I was amazed by how much food we got. Come hungry because you definitely won’t leave hungry! Mak made the entire experience feel welcoming and memorable. If you’re visiting Japan for the first time (or even if you’ve been before), I highly recommend this tour and hope you get Mak as your guide! Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🇯🇵🍜🍣🥟🥢
Mak was great! Loved that it was not just about food, but history as well. Loved the non-tourist restaurants
