Food tour of Tokyo. - Alma did a FANTASTIC job showing us around, sharing info a-plenty for anything Japan. She was super enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and catered for dietary requirements. She saw some parts of Tokyo we would otherwise not have visited. Definitely recommend. Thanks Alma.

Okay food, nice guide, not perfect - I felt we walked too far. Our guide was nice but not super passionate about the food. The food wasn't mind blowing by any means. In general I don't believe this tour should be so highly rated (5 stars at the time of booking) for what it was. But, a nice time. Not perfect.
