Top Tokyo Food Tours - page 14

Despite the consistent drizzle it was a great night. Louie the leader was very good and cared for me particularly as I was having some trouble keeping up with much younger patrons, the selection of restaurants was varied and food offerings varied, , tasty and plentiful, the group worked well together because of Louie*$ personality

Great way to experience Shinjuku in the evening. Our guide Haruki was friendly, knowledgeable and a good communicator. He kept our group of 10 organized and well-paced. So much food and all so good! Very filling! And a nice way to meet others from around the world. Just do it!

We had a wonderful experience exploring Tokyo with Zenji. He expertly tailored our itinerary to our specific interests, remained patient throughout the day, perfectly accommodated our dining needs and also clicked our photos. Everything was exceptionally well-planned and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, highly recommended!

This tour was a great way to experience local cuisine and places off the beaten path that we never would have discovered ourselves. We got to learn about the history of the area and discover unique spots in downtown Tokyo. Highly recommend for those looking for a fun, unique experience!

This was one of the best trips I've taken through viator. The food choices were excellent as was the walk through Shibuya. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very fun and entertaining as well. If we had had more time I would have taken the one through Shinjuku as well.

Shiki did a nice job…I liked the restaurant portion of the tour learning and trying the different tuna and even the new video portion that we watched on the tablet was informative, learning about the restaurant we ate at. I also enjoyed the other foods we tried in the fish market. Overall good tour!

* The Shinjuku food tour was the perfect way to start my trip to Tokyo. I truly felt like we visited authentic shops and had a great variety of food. There’s a decent amount of walking, but the guide Yuta did an amazing job of pacing so the group stayed together as we had a big variation in ages. We took routes to places that jhad us in the back alleys, and unique spaces that give Tokyo it’s character and charm. I felt like this was truly an authentic food tasting experience and highly recommend! If you have a strict diet or aren’t comfortable stepping out of your food zone, this may not be the tour for you, but if you’re adventurous, curious about the world’s best food city, and want to experience food like the locals do, this is perfect for you!

Akiko was a warm, considerate, generous, funny, informative, experienced and kind tour guide—one of the very best we’ve ever had. She took us to the Tsukiji Shrine first, then through the market where she skillfully navigated us through a very thick crowd, always finding us comfortable places to eat astonishingly good food. My favorite was tasting dozens of tiny snacks—codfish with lemon, dried kelp, wasabi sesame seeds, etc at half a dozen stalls—we bought bags of snacks to bring home. She had prepared laminated cards to teach about wagyu beef, and Japanese etiquette when dining and particularly when eating sushi. She also treated us to coffee when we ran slightly ahead of our sushi reservation—a tiny back of the store coffee bar. We learned so much, tasted extraordinary food, learned about the life of both the outer and inner market, felt like we had made a new friend, and left with several handmade gifts that she had prepared for us. We will ever forget this lovely experience, the highlight of our three days in Tokyo.
