Kaori-san was an amazing guide and even though it was new years day, I was able to try many different and delicious foods! Without Kaori's guidance I would not have known where to go, since many places are closed during the new years in Japan. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to try many different cuisines in one day. After the tour I was completely stuffed from trying so many different foods, but it was totally worth it!

By far the best way to experience a new area in Tokyo. We went to bunch of places I never could have gone on my own, not only because I didn’t know about them, but also because the menus were all written in Japanese only. We had a great time exploring izakayas and restaurants. We had beer, sake and even green tea infused Shochu. Great way to spend the evening.

I'll be honest, upon arriving at Akabane I wasn't sure what to make of it. I'd just spent the last few days with a friend exploring Shibuya and central Tokyo and the atmosphere was very different. However, knowledge is key and after meeting our convivial guide, we were transported to a world of small, intriguing "izakaya" style restaurants within minutes. This was definitely not the kind of place we would have found on our own and there were plenty of photo opportunities - from the glowing evening lanterns to the old ladies serving "oden." Beyond simply giving us a tour Simon genuinely seemed to have a rapport (not that we understood the Japanese!) with the staff in the restaurants and he translated for us when necessary. The jovial owner of the BBQ restaurant was our personal favourite! The one problem we did have was that one of the izakayas we visited was full at the time, so we had to wait on a chilly evening for around 20 mins. Simon did offer an alternative, but as he said that particular restaurant was one of the best, we persevered. We were rewarded for our patience with some awesome food though! Simon thoughtfully suggested the best things on the menu, based on our preferences. I'm not usually one to post reviews, but Simon deserves credit for providing an authentic experience which goes beyond what many people offer. Thanks to his help and guidance we learned the basic izakaya etiquette and gained confidence in these kinds of restaurants - we were far more adventurous with the places we tried on the remainder of our trip! Cheers!

We had a fantastic morning in Harajuku. Adam was very informative and gave us the tools to enjoy Japanese food and the confidence to order what we would want in the future. At short notice, Adam was able to arrange for us to visit one of the cat cafes , which was a highlight for my daughter. I would highly recommend this tour for people who want to understand the local culture and food scene. Excellent for teenagers as Adam is extremely considerate of his guests expectations.
