Ramen, Steak and Skewers at Shimbashi - Booked the "Hidden Gem Food Tour – Evening" from the website. Visited 4 different locations for Ramen, Steak, Skewers and desert. Among others we ate Shrimp Ramen and wagyu beef stew that were amazing. The only "downside" was that all locations we visited were on the same neighbourhood, (within 1-2 blocks) and would have liked to explore a broader area. That said, the point of the tour was to delicious food, which was 100% achieved

Wonderful Food Tour! - My wife and I were on our first trip to Japan and wanted to have an introduction to Japanese cuisine. Our guide for the tour was Lucas and he was fantastic!! Not only did he introduce us to various Japanese dishes and drinks, he taught us so much about the history of Shimbashi and its "Salary Man" evenings. We visited about 5 different restaurants and had multiple dishes at each one with Lucas explaining each dish and how it was generally eaten or ordered Japanese style. Can't say enough about Lucas himself. A very enthusiastic host/guide with so much knowledge to offer. You can't go wrong.

A great way to see Tokyo through Japanese eyes - We had a really enjoyable evening!
The food was great - typical salaryman eating and drinking establishments, in places we would never have looked, and we were warmly welcomed at each stop along the way and had a wide variety of food and drink.
Very well worth the money becaus our guide, Akari, was so charming and informative. We learned a lot about the culture of Japan and the history of Shimbashi, but also we just chatted with her, she was so friendly, natural and easy to talk to, and we learned so much about life in Japan that way, too.
Totally recommended, thank you so much!

Unforgettable experience - What an incredible experience! Our guide Akari Ha and Hallie was so lovely and knowledgeable!! They joined us in the experience which made it more authentic and fun. Just an amazing evening out with incredible food and drinks and conversation! Definitely more than a 3 hour tour but that made it more fun and special as we felt like we were out with friends. Thankyou to the amazing ladies that took us out!!

Excellent Tour! - Ray was a wonderful tour guide! The restaurants he chose were not only extremely tasty but also a great amount of variation. We also enjoyed the chance to experience the all you can drink as part of the tour.
Ray did an excellent job at accommodating our food restrictions. He was also enthusiastic about capturing our memories through photos that he shared. We loved the mini lessons on the surrounding area and Japanese etiquette! Overal it was great food and a nice way to try new things in an efficient way!

Ask for Ray! - Our guide, Ray, was fun and knowledgeable. I appreciate that he clearly had a good relationship with the restaurants we visited. We made the typical tour a little challenging for him because I don't drink alcohol and my friend doesn't eat pork. He was quick thinking on his feet and made sure we had a great time despite our restrictions. He even gave us a little gimmick to remember how to say "Thanks" before a meal in Japanese. He was a great guide and I'm thankful we had the opportunity to have a tour with thim.

Sake, chicken, udon, ice cream & Gieshas! - This review is for the evening food tour in KYOTO. Eduardo (a PhD student living in Kyoto from Mexico) was our guide. He was very personable and made an effort to connect with each of us. I thought the tour might include going to food markets and then to dinners, but the tour was 50% history/facts of the area and 50% visiting a selection of restaurants in Kyoto on a walking tour. We tried different cuisines and were FULL half way thru the tour!
