Colourful Evening of Dining - Yeman was our guide for this pleasant evening of colourful dining in obscure little, standing room only, restaurants with good food, interesting clientel, sweet and dry Sake and fascinating history. Ask about the “love hotels” which were news to us! Highly recommended.

Fun, Fascinating & Delicious! - A fantastic evening - best tour ever! Kristi is a wonderful guide and showed our group many interesting places including several tiny standup eateries with fabulous food! This tour was a highlight of my stay in Tokyo - fun, fascinating and delicious! I never would have explored the areas we visited on my own.

Perfect start to what is proving to be a fabulous trip - First night in Tokyo and what a welcome to the city. Great insight from our guide Andrew from the history of Japan, personal stories and of course sampling some of the local food as well as saki! For someone new to Japan and with a hunger to get away from the tourist traps and understand the local culture I can not recommend higher! Great intro, great food, great experience

Must do! - Andrew was fantastic and gave us an insight into the Japanese culture. He took us to small restaurants that were yummy and plenty of traditional bars. He even showed us how to purchase a train ticket home! I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour! - If you get the chance, ask for Mini as your guide. She was great! Very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the culture. We went to some off the beaten path spots and tried some very good food that I would have normally never tried. She even took time to help me set up a Suica card to my phone (no easy task as there were a lot of hoops to go through) and took me to a store afterwards to get flavored Kit Kats for souvenirs. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience with Ryuhki our guide - Ryuhki was an excellent your guide, was like renting a friend. He knew the areas well, had great history to teach us and was fun to bop around with. Book him you won't be disappointed

Great experience! - Great tour with Andrew, Kristi, and Maya. Food and drinks were great and we learned a lot. Andrew gave us great recommendations for the other days we are here. I really enjoyed how the tour was customized to our taste - we are adventurous eaters and got to try some very unusual items. Definitely “left the tourists behind”!
