We had a great time on our food tour with Marco, who showed us what it’s like to eat with the locals. He was flexible and tailored the evening to include some dishes we wanted to try, such as eel and steak. Everything was delicious! Marco is well travelled and has good knowledge of other countries including Australia. He was very easy to talk to and we would gladly be guided by him again when we next visit Nagoya.reyibarra

Our tour guide was very patient and accommodating to us despite our being very late in meeting up with him. He was still able to tour us to the places we wanted to see.
