A fantastic must-do for first-timers visiting Japan!

Published on May, 2024

This was a great experience! Our tour guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained how to pray at the Shinto and Buddhist shrines and temples and had a ton of interesting facts. We got to watch tamago being made, tried grilled skewered meat and sake, and fresh strawberries. Everything was delicious! He also took us the Asakusa and showed us a view of the SkyTree and the Asahi Golden Flame (or "Golden Poop" as some call it!) He explained how to use the Japanese subway system, which I admit was confusing to me, but afterward I was able to take a trip to Akihabara on my own. There was a lot of walking in the tour, but Sam was patient and accommodating, helping us find elevators when they were available. I'd recommend this trip to anyone visiting Japan!

A Fabulous Food Tour!

Published on Apr, 2024

This cultural walking tour took us to many interesting places that show the vibrant Tokyo life, and allowed us to try many great foods. And best of all our tour guide, Naoko, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.

Great tour, more than we would have known to do on our own!

Published on Apr, 2024

Excellent tour. We sampled quite a variety of foods and visited many of the shops. Was great to have had a couple of points in the tour where we sat down to eat and rest a bit. Shrines and temples were beautiful, glad we got a peek at those.

Great tasting tour in a small group

Published on Apr, 2024

Excellent food tour around the fish market with some behind the counter demonstration a lot of toastings included and a sushimi prep demonstration with a tasting in a private setting, small group (5 people for us) and the tour guide Lily was excellent and spoke great English also a visit to the Asakusa temple

A perfect tour!

Published on Mar, 2024

What an excellent tour (and so far i had 5 tours before this one). I just loved it. A mix of cultural experience and japanese food experience, but also some historical data and practical tips for what to do outside this tour. Our guide, Meiko, was absolut divine. Short, but fast, but also had a keen eye for our confort and our needs. I found no words to thank her, but for sure I want to come back several times in Japan. Arigato gozaimasu Meiko.
