We had an amazing Tsukiji Tour with our lovely Guide Clara and we enjoyed it a lot with her. She knows many things about the places, the food and the temple there around. We can highly recomend to take tours with Clara. Thank you so much for giving us a highlight in Tokio 😊

Everything I was looking for in a tour

My friend and I wanted to see everything Shinjuku had to offer, and we were really excited to get a first look at the yokocho with a tour group. At first blush, we were a little disappointed when it turned out we were the only ones attending this tour, but that quickly turned into laughter and fun when we met our tour guide Adele. She was funny, charming, and extremely knowledgeable about the area having lived in Japan for 10 years. I wish I had a few more days to walk and chat with her about her experience, her perspectives on Japanese life and culture as someone originally from the west were fascinating. She took us to some places that I ended up revisiting later in my trip just to get another taste. Ultimately, with the exception of one or "Tour Guide" moments, the entire experience felt like catching up with an old friend. As someone who is a little shy at first, hanging out with Adele was some of the best quality socializing I had during my entire stay in Japan. So personally, I really appreciated that, it was one of the goals for my trip, to talk with locals as much as I was able. I think I'll come visit Japan again, and I'll definitely book another!

Shigeki was an incredible guide! He led us to places we never would have known about or seen on a search website. Incredibly knowledgable, friendly, personable, and engaging, we learned so much in a short amount of time. Highly recommend arigato!

In the End we, and an other lovely english Family, hat a great PicNic with her on the rood where we could try all sorts of fresh Fish and Seafood with her recomendation. We felt very welcome and cared in her Hands.

Absolute Osaka Food Tour with EK

We had a wonderful experience in a small group tasing several savory dishes with EK, a kind and knowledgeable guide. Food and drink choices were exactly what we were looking for to experience authentic local cuisine. Highly recommended!

Great food tour of Osaka with Kentaro ! We sampled so many wonderful local dishes as we navigated the busy streets and hidden alleys of Dotonbori. Thanks Kentaro for a very memorable food experience.

We had a fab time with Serena. She was brilliant really informative and passionate about the area. The food choices were excellent, even thought she had 2 fussy children to deal with. They are aged 6 and 7 and we willing to try anything Serena suggested. Especially the chocolate filled pancakes and for the youngest the grilled beef. She made the whole tour fun and informative and we took her advice for the candy floss options and a walk to the near by temple. My girls wanted to do it all again tomorrow! Thanks you Serena for a fab day.

The tour leader was the highlight

The meeting location on the Yamanote line was easy to get to and the tour guide Diante was there early ready and waiting. He had lots of interesting information about the area and we tasted delicious street food down the main shopping road - Yanaka Ginza. We walked around the neighbourhood, saw lots of cherry blossom and had our picnic in a park. He was aware of the mobility issues within the group and made adjustments accordingly. One of the tour members had a seafood allergy so our bento picnic food was chosen by us each individually from a combini. This was understandable but disappointing considering the price of the tour. I had envised a beautiful bento box. The tour guide took lots of photos, happily answered questions and had a bright and friendly personality. If not for him, I would have considered the tour hugely overpriced.

We had a great walking food tour in Hiroshima with our Sake Sommelier, Masa. The experience was truly local, and Masa was so knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Great fun. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Great food + area tour for entire family

Our family toured around with Kaz for 3 hours and had a great time. Our kids are 7, 10, and 13 and he was able to make the tour engaging for them as well as the two other ~20 year olds who were on our tour. It was nice having someone to guide us around Asakusa and the shrine as it was incredibly busy. It made it a lot easier to experience a bunch different food stalls and get context on the area.

An educational dinner experience.

My family and I did a food tour in Tokyo with Alex. He did an amazing job making sure we understood the history of the area as well as customs, eating styles, and a lot of information about the food. He was a gracious host who really tailored the tour to our needs. I highly recommend him, an absolutely fantastic experience.

Super! We hadden echt een super goede gids. Ze heeft echt alle tijd genomen om ons alles uit te leggen. Ook maakte ze op het einde nog extra tijd vrij om ons nog een aantal extra matcha shops te laten zien. Ik raad het zeker aan!

We had a great time taking in the local shops, neighborhoods and restaurants. It was a nice way to learn about the culture and have an authentic feel for what it’s like to live in Osaka. We tried a lot of the local delicacies throughout the tour which were amazing and ended our day with a picnic in the park surrounded by cherry blossoms. What a fun and beautiful experience from start to finish.

Fantastic food tour in Kyoto led by Sora Maldonado. The combination of food, history and culture was wonderfully explained by Sora. And she is a nice person too.
