What travelers think of our Tokyo experiences
Taka is an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly, excellent English, and very enthusiastic about Japanese food. We had a great variety of food, a cool Sake tasting, and a walking tour of the unique fish market. He customized the tour to take account of our friend who had injured his leg and was walking slow. It was our best day in Tokyo!
Show moreWe met with Nobu outside the Shibuya Station for the start of our tour. He had already emailed me so he was familiar with our preferences. Our first stop was a premium sushi restaurant. Everything was delicious. Next we tried a revolving sushi restaurant. We had always been curious about how to order and he explained it perfectly to us. There was a Pokémon Center near the revolving restaurant. Nobu was patient enough to help me shop for my grandkids ☺️. Definitely above and beyond his job description. Lastly he took us to a fabulous market underneath the Shibuya Station. He showed us how to select takeaway sushi. All the food we ate on the tour was delicious but the market was probably our favorite. We went back several times before we left Tokyo!
Show moreMaruf did a great job taking me around the local fish market. I was able to sample the best food of my choice. Highly recommended for first time visitors to Japan.
Show moreMaruf took me to the local seafood market and showed me a couple of interesting places to get excellent sushi at a sit down counter as well as uni, A5 beef skewers and king crab at a street stall. The mochi stall and unique local coffee shop that serves any of the many available bean varieties as a drink for you were excellent. Thank you so much for the first push for me to ,continue enjoying Tokyo on my own!
