Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Alejandro was fantastic! My wife and I did the Drinks & Bites tour with Alejandro and we loved the neighborhood our tour took place in. One thing we really appreciated was that Alejandro was able to accommodate my wife's vegetarian diet, which other tour guides in Japan have been reluctant to do. From the izakaya he took us to, to the great market, to the wonderful conversation over our shared hobby, we had a wonderful time!"
"Our tour with Sheilina (10 tastings and Chinatown) was an amazing afternoon! This was so much more than just a sampling of food. Sheilina provided us with fascinating insights of the history, culture and customs that you just cannot get from a guide book or reading about the city online. We felt we were exploring with a friend more than a guide. She shared personal stories of her family and life and taught us extensively about the development and evolution of Yokohama. When we did eat, we were treated to her favorite locations in Chinatown, where interactions with the restaurateurs were part of the experience. Even if you have certain dietary restrictions or likes/dislikes, she is able to accommodate them and make the experience wonderful. If you have an opportunity to spend some time with Sheilina, do so as it will be an experience you won't forget!"
"Wonderful time with Sena. I would highly recommend this toor to anyone who wants to taste authentic Japanese cuisine. Stroll through the alleys of a bustling non touristy area. "
"Seden was a great host for our food tour. She was knowledgeable, friendly and caring. We walked around a local open market and tried some great traditional Japanese foods. Go hungry because you will be full by the end. "
"Sena is lovely and took us to places that were well off the tourist trail Lovely mixture of snack foods from small local specialtists. So much food that we could barely walk by the end. Great tour, great guide."
"Sena guided my husband and me on the Drinks & Bites Tour through Kichijoji. Communication was easy and sincere from the very beginning. Her open and kind manner made us feel comfortable right away. And we had some good laughs together. She always had several food options prepared and catered to all our requests. She took us to places we would never have found on our own, such as a yakitori restaurant where many salarymen were enjoying their after-work beer. All of her food recommendations were amazing! The tour with Sena was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely book her as our guide again on our next trip! "
"Our food tour with Ai was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Tokyo. She went above and beyond from the very beginning—she met us at our hotel to help us navigate the train system and brought us to a local neighborhood we never would have discovered on our own. From there, the afternoon turned into an incredible culinary adventure. We sampled a variety of local foods, each one more delicious than the last. Everything was authentic, fresh, and absolutely scrumptious. It felt like we were being introduced to the real flavors of Tokyo rather than the typical tourist spots. What made the experience even more special was how much Ai shared along the way. She was also incredibly helpful with a gift we needed to purchase and helped us navigate the shops to find the perfect item. It truly felt like exploring Tokyo with a knowledgeable friend who wanted us to experience the best of the city. If you want amazing food, local insights, and a memorable afternoon in a neighborhood you’d never find on your own, this tour is a must-do. Thank you for a great day, Ai! "
"Our evening with Sena was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo. She was so friendly and pleasant. The pace of the experience was perfect and the tastings were thoughtfully selected and definitely things we would have never tasted on our own. The neighborhood she selected was really cool and somewhere we would not have explored without her help. I highly recommend booking with Sena!"
"Ai was a super nice and kind host, who seemed to enjoy answering all our questions! She took my bestie and I to some really good food places. Places we would not have visited ourselves. It was really an amazing experience for us. Definitely one you don't want to miss!"
"Sedan was so a great guide. We took the street food tour with her on the day we landed in Tokyo and we were all heavily jet lagged but she was so thoughtful and kept the pace steady. She accommodated all our preferences , we are all quite fussy, and gave us so much information about what to do while we were in Japan. It was the best thing to do on the first day as it gave us more understanding about the different food but also the culture: "
