Great time eating with Boris - We had a fantastic time touring Nishiki Market and the department store area with Boris. He was a great guide and shared a lot of fun stories and facts about the market. We really enjoyed all the food and the snacks, and how easy he made everything.

Fun at Nishiki market - Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us through the food displays of a modern department store snd then through the old Nishiki market. The contrast was great. He purchased food items for us to try and educated us on those items. We enjoyed the tour and glad we did it.

AMAZING!!!!! - Boris was an "ABSOLUTE HERO". My cab driver got miserably LOST. Boris communucated with me to get us there. His first impression was a caring, sincere person who was very professional in his role and caring for the tourist joining him. He guided me thru the tour site explaining everything and more about the market. He picked out the besties and we sampled many foods. YUM!! I see him as a forever friend in meeting him for such a short time period. He was an impactful person in a beautiful way and so knowledgable about everything on his tour. Passionate about providing above and beyond in his role. As a hiring manager myself for decades in top corporations in the USA for decades. I'd hire him in a minute.

Fantastic and recommended - Ai was excellent and I would absolutely recommend this tour. There was some pretty exotic foods which my stomach couldn't handle but the ones that I could were absolutely amazing!
Ai really knew the market intimately and shared a bit of history about the stores as well as pointing out some of the best spots to eat.
