What others say

We had to do our food tour at an unconventional time due to scheduling issues on our part, but Mari made it work so well. She took us to an area of Tokyo we would have never discovered on our own and we really did feel like we were dining where the locals go. She picked excellent places and was very attentive to our family. Then she took extra time to show us around Shibuya. We are so grateful for her time with us.
Kay was energetic, fun and very knowledgeable. Its was a great few hours.
Had a great experience. We were also able to ask our guide about multiple other subjects to help guide us for the remainder of our vacation.
We’d loved experiencing Loys’s hometown favorites.
Seeing and eating our way through an Osaka known by Loys was a terrific way to further get to know the city. We thoroughly enjoyed his company. Thank you.
Kanazawa: Private Food Tasting Walking Tour
Selda was a wonderful guide and introduced us to food we have would have never tried on our own. We went to two izakayas that were such a fun experience. Please note, this is not a street food tour as their street food market closes at 4 PM daily.
Beast mode eating with Beast mode man
I had the honor and thrill to go eating with the local power lifting legend himself Ryuki. The man is a true gentle giant who knows the area well as he grew up here. Another bonus was he drove us around to locations I would never find myself. Food was great. Conversation and history of area was great. And he was an interesting man to talk to as well. Def eat the cow tonight !
Tokyo: Private Personalized Local Food Tour
Very much enjoyed the tour and Apy was an amazing guide! Great food and conversation. Couldn\'t recommend more!!
Martina was an excellent tour guide!
Martina listened and provided a custom tour based on our interests and answered all our specific questions.
Perfect evening with the perfect host/guide
We enjoyed everything. - the best Food tour we ever had. And we had many of them around the world
Wonderful food choices and a gracious host
Akihiro was a wonderful host and was able to change restaurants when we decided we wanted to sit at a table rather than at the Ramen bar. He spent a lot of time making sure we enjoyed ourselves. We were happy to spend our first day with him in Sapporo - it made it a lot easier for us to know our way around. He also helped us understand our food options in Japan which is also very helpful since we have 2 more weeks to go....
Great recommendations and Insights
She did an amazing job. We had a fantastic time. Give her a raise!
Yuka was warm, engaging and well informed. She adapted the tour to meet our mobility issues and our interests. It was a great experience.
Osaka Street Food Tour with a Local Foodie: Private & 100% Personalized

Mayura was a wonderful guide.
Mayura put us at ease and helped us with a lot of things. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
Eat Like a Local in Kobe, Four Tastings
So great! We never would have been knowledgeable enough or brave enough to find the deliciousness to which Taiga led us on our food tour. Didn’t even know akashiyaki was a thing. How small can a gyoza shop be? Now we know. Taiga was an awesome, knowledgeable, friendly host to spend a few hours with tasting the delights of Kobe.
Private Walking Street Food Tour Of Nagasaki
We had a great tour with Miki who was able to accommodate meeting us at the cruise terminal. Miki reached out in advance to make sure we knew where to meet and communication was seamless. We were able to try a few different local foods followed by a sushi lunch and dessert spot. We were also able to pass by a few sightseeing spots, which we visited once the tour was over.
We never would have tasted such delights without Taiga leading the way!
Taiga was awesome, knowledgeable and so friendly. We would not have been brave enough to try akashiyaki or to dive into the teeny gyoza shop without our host. Really fun afternoon overall.
Very informative and supportive of our requirements
Very supportive of my husband’s needs. Good liaison prior to tour. Very helpful and informative
Fun Food Tour
Selda was a wonderful guide! She showed us her favorite izakayas in Kanazawa and ordered her favorite, local food she likes to enjoy. We throughly enjoyed the meals and the fun atmosphere in the izakayas. Please note, this is not a street food tour as Kanazawa does not offer this except in Omicho Market which closes at 4pm daily. I highly recommend this tour if you want a broad introduction of the local foods.
What more can I say about Shin other than to say that he may have created our favorite excursion in a trip full of highlights. From the beginning, he was ready to introduce us to new foods, and he always asked about our limits before pushing the boundaries. He gave us great context on a lot of the local foods and drinks while allowing us to try things we probably never would have on our own. On top of that, he was a pleasure to talk to and be around. Personal touches were everywhere, up to a personalized birthday cake he had waiting for me. I can't recommend Shin highly enough to anyone who wants a taste of the local culture in Nagasaki
