The Tokyo food tour is by far one of the best tours we have experienced since being in Japan. I’m a single father travelling with two young girls 8 and 10. I honestly thought it was going to be very difficult to find food with my youngest daughter living with celiac disease and myself having an extremely allergy to fish. However our tour guide Kaz was fantastic he went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Kaz was extremely supportive and very knowledgeable about Tokyo history and answered any and all questions we had and kept my daughter engaged so I could also enjoy the night. We also met some wonderful people from other countries who also engaged with myself and my children, what a fantastic learning experience for us as a family. I would highly recommend this to anyone travelling to Tokyo and the immersive cultural food experience was second to none. The food and fantastic photography of this beautiful city of a night time is really something to experience my children absolutely enjoyed themselves. The only problem was trying to calm them down to go to sleep for the next days excursions. A big thank you goes out to Kaz for his beautiful nature and experience in Tokyo cuisine.

Our guide was incredible helpful and pleasant. Our group had a wonderful time enjoying a taste of what Shibuya has to offer and would highly recommend it to anyone else. The selection of dishes and drinks was well put together and allowed our group to experience a good set of options. I would totally go on this again with our guide Haruna!

We booked the "Tokyo: Tsukiji Fish Market Seafood and Sightseeing tour" with Kanako. The tour included:
- a stop at the Buddhist temple near the Tsukiji Market with the explanation of its history and of the japanese worship traditions
- a walking tour in the Tsukiji Market with a fatty tuna sashimi (the best i have ever eaten), medium fatty tuna nigiri and tamagoyaki samples, a wonderful lunch (until 1500 yen included in the tour price) and a mochi as dessert
- the access to the observation deck overlooking Tokyo Bay in the Shiodome City Center
Kanako was very kind and friendly, prepared and available to answer at any question we had.
At the end of the experience, she shared via email the photo taken during the tour.

Beware of this operator. If you are late for your tour you will lose your money and they will make no effort to help you, even if you offer to pay extra. We arrived 20 minutes late for our booked foodie trip in Osaka (due to a misread tube map and a useless, GPS-less taxi driver). We emailed MT and asked if we could go the following evening (our last in Osaka). We got no reply so we turned up on the off chance (cutting short a day trip to Nara) in hope - my wife really wanted to do this tour. Only two other customers arrived, along with the tour guide. We explained the situation to her and offered to pay any and all additional surcharges, fees, costs, etc. My wife even offered to pay the whole cost again (which I thought was excessive). The other customers wanted us on the tour, as did the tour guide. But the office, who she was on the phone to, wouldn't budge. So they got our money, we got nothing. In subsequent email exchanges they talked about their "rules". But this was just an inflexible, heartless attitude. It would have cost them nothing and made all the difference to us.

Thank you for your review. And we are sorry that you couldn't join our tour. We instruct all our guides to wait for their guests for 10 minutes to all show up but not any longer because that's the longest to push back for the tour to go on on time. And since our tours are not private, we find it only fair to make waiting time as less as possible for those who show up on time. Also these restaurants we use are pre-reserved and we pay for the seats whether guests show up or not. I understand your anger but we hope you understand. And since we pre-reserve those restaurants, we are afraid that we cannot accept guests on the day because those restaurants might not be able to accommodate us if the group was increased by just one. Once we get rejcted by the restaurant we might not be able to find any other places to dine. That's the last thing we want for our guests. Again, we are sorry that you couldn't make the tour. Sincerely, MagicalTrip Support Team

We visited Tsukiji Market with Kiyoko, our guide, and one other couple. Kiyoko was great, took us exploring the area before we got to the actual market. Once there she took us along the laneways pointing out a variety of what was offer and also arranging lots of tastings. We also had a delicious meal in a private ( air conditioned) booth. After the market tour finished, Kiyoko took us to the top floor a nearby building to see a view of the market and surrounding area from above. After the tour finished she escorted us to the train station to return to our hotel. We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend to anyone.

Our family of four did the 3-hour Tokyo city highlights bike tour with Joey. The first half an hour was spent getting the bikes out of a bike garage which I feel should have been done beforehand. Joey was a nice enough guy and his English was good, but he read word for word off his phone what we were looking at most of the time. I feel the reason you take a tour and pay good money is to have a local bring the area to life for you and to really give you an interesting description of what you are looking at so you can truly appreciate it. We cut the tour short as listening to him read from his phone was tedious. I feel we could have rented bikes ourself, followed google maps and googled what we were looking at and saved our money. So unfortunately we cannot recommend.

We enjoyed this tour. The kids (7 and 15) both seemed very engaged. We only wish it were longer! The monster cafe was super fun. The food is ok, but kids loved the atmosphere. They liked the photo booth as well. Our tour guide, Yumiko, was so nice and wonderful. It was very crowded due to the new year holiday and she went out of her way to make sure that we had an enjoyable experience. It is sometimes a bit hard in Japan not speaking Japanese, so I felt very relieved to have Yumiko lead the way. She was very helpful and so so nice! We highly recommend the tour!

Ai was a splendid guide for this experience! Her English is top notch and her vibrant personality elevated the tour experience. She provided plentiful information about the places we visited and the surrounding areas. We were able to see some of the famous sights to see in Shinjuku and visited a variety of bars/restaurants with a curated selection of tasty drinks and dishes specifically for the tour group. As an added bonus, some locations were able to provide "unlimited" drinks for the group 😉 For a first time experience in Shinjuku, this tour was fantastic!

As part of our honeymoon we went on this tour and it is my favourite day of our whole trip! Our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable about Fuchu and we learned so much about the history and the culture, which is exactly what I was wanting.
The sushi-making was amazing!!! It was so nice to have only the two of us learning from the sushi master. It was a way more intimate and we learned so much!! Being on the other side of the counter and seeing how it's done is such a unique and cool experience. And of course it was tasted amazing. Ending the day off with a sake tasting was the perfect cherry on such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!!!
