Top Tokyo Street Food Tours - page 4

Wonderful experience. Tour guide spoke excellent English. I am not sure how you could explore the fish market without a guide. There were so many stalls and crowds, it would have been overwhelming. The guide led our group to a good variety of stalls and explained the best items to get at each one. Come hungry! I spent about 7000 yen at the booths, many of which are cash only. The quick visit to the temple before the market was an added bonus for this tour. Beautiful temple and I enjoyed the information shared by our guide and her explanation of the rituals. Also I appreciated that she gave everyone an opportunity to do the rituals but also repeatedly said they were optional, so there was no pressure if it wasn't your thing. Highly recommend.

Kenny was amazing. She was super knowledgeable and warm and funny and knew all the right spots to go to and avoid the long lines of crowds. She had an incredible knowledge of history and culture, and honestly just made our day! Ask for Kenny when you book this tour. Fabulous

Hitomi, our guide, was an absolute gem! She was very knowledgeable and gave us tons of great educational nuggets throughout the day. We started at the seafood market at an established stall where we learned a lot about how the tuna is procured, stored and prepared and also about the different cuts and theor uses. We ate several delicious samples before walking through the rest of the market where we sampled many other delicacies and also entered various shops based on our interests. Along the way she explained various traditions and ways of life and told us about her own family.We also toured a temple and ended the day with a delicious matcha ice cream. We can't praise her enough! We learned so much and had a blast. Usually I get tired by the end of a tour, but I could have spent the whole day with Hitomi- she is just a delight. We highly recommend this tour!

Toshi is a very attentive tour guide. He communicates thoroughly before you start the tour, with exactly where to meet and what time to be there. He adheres to the Japanese Custom of arriving five minutes early. While meeting up with him, he made sure to confirm our dietary restrictions and also gauge our comfort level with certain foods before purchasing them or suggesting them. He also takes advantage of making small talk to ensure that the time is spent with engaging conversation and a bit of humor. One thing that we enjoyed was the pace. We did not feel rushed, and I got the impression that if we wanted to extend the tour, he would not proactively cut it short. One of the favorite things that we enjoyed was the quality of the picture he took of us. He really put effort into making sure that he not only captured you but the energy of the food market. When the Tour was ending, he would remember certain things that he offered to do, for example going with us to the subway station to buy tickets. Those things go a long way with me, especially coming from Los Angeles. The other thing that we liked was he made it clear that he did not want a tip or expect one. So we probably disrespected him by giving him a tip, but it was well deserved because we had a very good time.

We had the best time with Ryu. He took us to a variety of local food spots. We had dumplings, noodles with tempura, a variety of skewers, and custard filled pastries for dessert. All were delicious and filling. Ryu filled us in on everyday life in Japan. I would recommend this tour it was delicious, entertaining, and educational.

We had an amazing tour with Taiga! So knowledgeable and fun. He really knows his fish and made the experience unforgettable. One of the best food tours we have done. Come hungry and leave stuffed. We started with full sushi meal and ended with matcha treat with plenty in between. A true Tokyo experience and highlight of our visit.

Elena was fantastic! She was very energetic and enthusiastic about hosting our food tour. Each restaurant selection was different and the menu choices were perfect. She shared get information about each area we visited or just walked through. Most importantly she knew the best spots for pictures and took amazing pictures of us during the tour.

Naoki is the best drinking buddy and guide you could ever want in a city like Tokyo. He showed us some great hidden gems and gave us priceless local tips to getting around the bar scene in the city. Not to mention his vast knowledge of food! Easily the best bar hopping tour you can do in Shibuya.
