Alejandra took my daughter and I on this walking tour our 2nd day in Tokyo, felt like we were getting to know Asakusa, plus info re other areas of Tokyo with a good friend. The walk was not too long for us, full of history, religion and knowledge of Japan, the Shrine in the evening was super special, the food was yummy comfort food, drinks overflowing (if you want), loved the new snacks we tried (and bought to take home) - just a fun, relaxing, easy night to begin our Japan adventure. The photos of the 2 of us were special too! Thanks Alejandra and Arigato Tours! (PS we paid $120usd each, not 230+ ea).

Jacob our guide was simply amazing. He was knowledgeable, fun and passionate. We had an amazing time tasting delicious food, learning about the neighborhood and Japanese culture but also having fun, drinking and singing karaoke. His English is impeccable and his enthusiasm for food and Japan is contagious! A must do while in Tokyo.

Wes was amazing! The food was unbelievably good and he gave us so many interesting facts and history. Highly recommend!!!

Our tour was great. Sebastian was engaging and informative. We went around to enough places to get a nice sampling of the area and the local food, but not so many that we were exhausted. The food choices were wonderful. We'd definitely do another tour in the future.

We did two "foodie" tours in Kyoto with Arigato. The Gion tour with Kaiseke was a complete bust and not value for money - give it a miss, but the Pontocho Alley tour was a winner. Our guide was Thomas and he was terrific. We experienced a wonderful variety of food and enjoyed some cultural history as well.

My parents and I really enjoyed the Tsukiji market tour with Sandra and Makki! This was one of the things I was looking forward to in my first visit to Japan, and I am glad to have done it -- not only do we get to try the sumptuous seafood (which of course was expected), we also get a primer on both the history and culture surrounding this humble little market. I guess we were also lucky to have both Sandra and Makki along as they're able to provide both a foreign and native perspective to the experience. As a result, we enjoyed Tsukiji so much that we visited the place 2 more times on our own just to make the most out of our brief stay!

Kay is a gifted tour leader. She struck up a strong rapport with us and quickly worked out our interests. She guided us around the market picking out delicious local delicacies for us to experience. The oysters were amazing. She added thoughtful touches to the tour and we learned about the Japanese language and customs as well as the cuisine culture. At the end she provided a wonderful picnic of some of the food she had picked with us and it made a lovely ending to a memorable morning. Initially we had not been sure about the tour but Kay made it one of the best things we have done on our holiday so far.

Had the most incredible time on a retro food tour of Osaka with Akiko! Not only did we have some incredible bites, like okonomiyaki, udon and kushikatsu, we were able to experience local games and shops (we loved the demonstration at Tower Knives so much, we went back the following day to purchase a set)! Akiko was really informative and really showed us a part of Osaka that we would've otherwise missed. Eternally grateful for such a fun experience!

We had an amazing food tour with Arigato Travel last night in the Ginza neighborhood. Our guide, Kaz, was fantastic, highly recommend him! We got so many cultural insights and tips, as well as eating some delicious snacks and meals! A highlight for us was the stop at a small Okinawan restaurant, where we were treated to incredible tasty food and a cool atmosphere (and an unexpected live musical performance) that we never would have found on our own. We also really enjoyed the dessert stop for seasonal daifuku mochi that was so yummy! We really appreciated Kaz's relaxed but informative style; my kids (16 and 13) enjoyed learning from him. Would definitely recommend this tour and Kaz in particular to English speakers who want to get a sense of the food scene in Tokyo.

Kevin was a first class guide for our food tour. With just the three of us it was a very personal experience. We learnt about both the food but also more about the Japanese culture. We not only visited a variety of food experiences but also a few other cultural places of interest. I'll not say we enjoyed everything we ate but that was about our taste - we tried a number of foods we would not have ordered in a restaurant and some we enjoyed! One of the restaurant/bars he took us to became a 'favourite' and we revisited it on a couple of occasions to eat: we would never have found it without Kevin!

We had a wonderful food tour with Ray, our guide. He gave us an overview of Shinjuku area, taught us some Japanese etiquette during meals, and had an interesting walking tour aside from trying different kinds of food. It was a 3 hour lively tour and you must go with an empty stomach coz there is so much food! It was an experience exploring restaurants/bars in Golden Gai. Thank you!

Excellent experience with Ully on a food tour, great knowledge of the local area and was a pleasure to spend time with. Thanks again!

We had a private tour with Ana and another couple from UK. We walked the Gion and Pontocho areas and visited sweet shops and several restaurants. The food was fabulous, the refreshments were fantastic. We have used Arigato Tours previously and will sign up again for another foodie tour!

Absolutely fantastic food tour with Kevin. He managed to exceed our expectations which were already quite high after 7 weeks touring. The food was delicious and his knowledge of the area amazing. Kevin led us down alley ways which were well off the tourist trail. Making us feel like guests not simply customers it was a great evening. Strongly recommend both Kevin and Arigato tours.

Our food tour of Osaka with Akiko of Arigato Travel was not only enlightening and informative, but delicious. She picked great spots to eat the specialities Osaka is renowned for, plus showed us hidden gems in this never-ending energy city. Thanks for a great time! Highly recommended.
