Excellent tour & excellent guides! - Kaori & Eugene made the tour such an excellent experience and gave us many helpful tips and advice for food and also shopping in the area. They also were very considerate of my foot problems and tried to either minimize walking or would adjust the itinerary to show us places that were not too spread out. My daughters (ages 18 & 12), and I had such a great time. Kaori & Eugene are both so friendly & knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

Great time! - Hiko was such a great guide, and made for such a special time w my 18YO son. Ikebukuro is a relatively lesser talked about area of Tokyo when speaking w friends, but I thought it was great. Filled with a lot of energy and young people. Hiko made sure to customize our tour specifically for my son and I, and took care of so many little extras that really made a difference. I really appreciate her attention. I will definitely go back to Ikebukaro to explore again.

Foodie Dream - We were only in Tokyo for 12 hours and we just couldn't find the pick-up spot and we missed the start time. I called the office and they returned my call. Adam apologized and offered to give us a tour at another time, I was so ready to fight and was blown away with their customer service. Adam gave us an awesome experience thru Ikebukuro food district. Let me point out that the restaurants gave us full size meals,not samples. Even got my daughter to try and love the Sushi. Thanks again to Adam for making our experience memorable.

Ikebukuro urban food tour - It was an interesting experience. Our guide Adam was very friendly, accommodating, and full of interesting insights. Recommended for someone who wants an introduction to Japanese food culture within the context of what is available in Ikebukuro.
