Review: Secret Food Tours Tokyo

Secret Food Tours was a great experience and a very thorough and enjoyable tour. On the morning of the tour, I thought I had left enough to get to the meeting place from my hotel. I assumed the train station would take my credit card, but it did not, so it took some time to convert my American to Japanese. When I got to the Ueno Station, our meeting place, it was 15 minutes past the agreed time. No one was there and I knew I had missed the group and would not be able to find them or get a refund. I asked an employee at one of the station's restaurants and she called the tour company and communicated in Japanese. Before I knew it the tour guide, Kunie, had come back to meet me (unheard of in the US!) with a smile and invited me to join the rest of the group. After that we went from restaurant to cafe to parks to market, trying different delicacies and getting a 3-hour tour of the city at the same time. Kunie was wonderful -- cheerful, informative and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour.

We started our first trip to Japan with this tour. Our guide Tomoko was so nice and welcoming. Her English was perfect also! The tour has plenty of food (we were stuffed afterward) but also includes a lovely stroll through Ueno park. We learned some of the parks history with Tomoko and it was the perfect break from all the eating.Tomoko even took extra time after the tour to help us buy a hat for the cold weather and then helped us activate our JR passes. She really went above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tokyo!

My dad and I had 2 days in Tokyo and one of the days we were lucky enough to spend on the Tokyo Food Tour. Our guide, Setsuko, was absolutely amazing. She led us through the fun town of Ueno, while eating along the way. We tried food we wouldn't have ordered on our own and were pleasantly surprised by the taste! Our guide also walked us through the beautiful park, sharing stories about Japanese history and culture. This tour comes highly recommended, even if you only have a couple days in the city!

Our guide Tomoko Hori took us round some great spots in the Ueno area of Tokyo sampling a lot of authentic Japanese cuisine. My wife and I are keen on food and always find great places when we travel but we were still able to try new things on the tour and experience tastes and places we might not otherwise have known about or been able to access easily. We tried a lot of different dishes that gave a good representation of Japanese food and the quality was fantastic all round. Tomoko was very knowledgeable, not just about the food but other aspects of Japanese/Tokyo culture and history so it was an amazing experience all round. Oishe!
