Unforgettable Tokyo Food Tour with Simon – A Must-Do Experience - Simon’s Tokyo food tour was truly unforgettable and the perfect experience for me as a solo traveler. He created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, making me feel completely at ease while exploring Tokyo’s incredible food and drink scene. The locations he selected were exceptional, offering a mix of authentic dishes and drinks that showcased the city’s culinary diversity. I especially loved the opportunity to try local specialties I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. Simon’s knowledge and enthusiasm added so much to the experience, and he took care of every detail, allowing me to fully enjoy the evening. This tour was a highlight of my trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a personal and delicious dive into Tokyo’s food culture.

A perfect evening in Tokyo - Simon showed us such a great time! We wanted a dining/drinking experience that would be authentic and give us a great taste of Tokyo and he delivered! I loved each of his choices from family style restaurant, bar and sake house, places we never would have found on our own! He also did a wonderful job of selecting the food and drinks to give us a variety of tastes that we might not have ordered on our own! He was entertaining, and knowledgeable about Tokyo culture. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great Evening Out! - We were looking for a dining and drinking experience that would be less touristy and more authentic and that is what Simon provided and then some. He provided a thoughtfully planned out evening that included a family type restaurant, an after-work type bar and then ended at a wonderful Sake house. He expertly guided us through great food and beverage choices at each place and was great company to boot! It was truly a unique and enjoyable experience that we won't forget!
