Learnt a lot about the local area from Marcel, and definitely visited places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Nice group of British and Australians. We did spend quite a long time waiting in the cold for people to buy drinks and go to the bathroom constantly- hard to know if this is avoidable. Also a little pricey, but generally would recommend this tour.

We had the pleasure of Hiro giving us a tour of the Nishiki Market. Unfortunately we had a tight schedule and Hiro went out of his way to accommodate our timeline. Not only did we learn so much about local cuisine we were also provided several suggestions on tips on other things to do in the area. Hiro is very interesting and a great conversationalist. We will definitely take his evening tour next time we are in Japan. Thanks Again Hiro.
