Our tour guide was shining. She is very helpful in getting everyone’s dietary preference so that we are able to enjoy the best food experience. Always come back with an alternative and communicate with chef to fulfil anyone’s request. Friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

We had the pleasure of doing the Asakusa food tour with a lovely tour guide, Giulia. She was delightful, showing us around the area, teaching us how to eat the foods, and just chatting with us. The food was also delicious! Afterwards, she gave us a list of the places we'd been and a much longer list of her food recommendations in the city, separated by types of food. She gave thoughtful descriptions of each place so we know what to expect. This was the perfect way to start off our trip to Japan and we are so excited to check out some of the other spots!Just completed a gastronomically fantastic tour with Giulia. She was so informative, curious, and answered so many questions as we hopped from sushi to soba noodles/tempura and beyond.

We booked on to the group tour but were lucky enough to have Amanda all to ourselves. We were a group of myself, my partner and step-son. We are a quiet, reserved bunch so it was lovely to have such a chill and happy character in Amanda who put us at ease straight away. She displayed a range of knowledge not just on Japanese food, but the culture, language and history. We all absolutely loved the tour, the food and the experience. Amanda checked with us if we had any intolerances/dislikes and then she went ahead and ordered/bought at each location on our behalf. She explained various rituals and customs of how dishes are eaten. So glad we booked this tour, it was a memory we will never forget.We went on a wonderful private food tour with Ninja food tours.

We did a walking food crawl tour with Giulia (sp?) today. It was a fantastic way to get to know the Asakusa area and some of the different kinds of food available. We had 5 in our party: myself, my husband, my sons ages 7&10 and my mom who is almost 70 and in good walking shape. My boys are fairly adventurous eaters. We walked around the Sensoji shrine for about an hour before we met up with Giulia. She was easy to find, and so very knowledgeable about both our food questions and our culture and recommendations questions. The way the tour was laid out was lovely and well paced, and we certainly tried food I may not have chosen on my own, just because it wasn’t obvious to me what it was by looking, but it was all delicious and high quality. The sushi was probably my favorite- just melted in your mouth! My boys liked the soba/tempura stop. Really, a lovely way to spend a day exploring and getting oriented to our first trip to Japan, while being able to ask a resident some of our questions. Highly recommend!
