Guide was great (Jin). Food stops not ideal. Overall, did not feel like Japanese/local. The last stop/restaurant should be re-evaluated for another option.
Very good. Guide was adaptable and calmly made changes when a place was double booked
Changed route and not very good food
The tour was really good, the food was delicious and something I would have never tried or found by myself. Most importantly, Blake was a great guide and I really enjoyed listening to his stories on the various stops of the tour. 10/10 would recommend!
The food tour was only ok. Every place was ready for us, had a set menu and were kind. We just did not like the food selection. I do not eat raw fish and my husband is a vegetarian. I did say he was from the beginning. It was definitely not vegetarian friendly. We both did like the Okinawan restaurant, but for the price, I would not recommend
May was honestly the best. Such a good guide. Food was amazing!
Worth it. Went to less tourist spots and learned so much from Remi.
Muito boa
The tour takes you to four places, two seat downs and two on the go. Places are quite average and offer not too much food. I feel like you can get much more and tastier for that money if you go on your own. The guide was very nice and took us on a walk around the area which was nice. Otherwise, I would probably just explore myself next time.
