What's a Private Food Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Toyosu Market, Tsukishima Monjayaki, Meiji Shrine, and Shibuya Crossing
Today's guests were visitors from North America. We first met in front of the market and explored Toyosu Market. Along the way, the guests said they wanted to eat sushi, so we stopped in on the spur of the moment and each had five pieces of nigiri sushi. They said it was very fresh and delicious, though after paying the bill they were taken aback by how high the price was. Next, we moved to Tsukishima and tried monjayaki. They ordered seafood and pork, were delighted by how tasty it was, and finished everything including the crispy bits. After that, we visited Meiji Shrine and finally experienced Shibuya Crossing before parting ways.

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Yuji was an amazing guide. He was able to add so much information about all the sites we chose to see. He was very kind and when we were tired he suggested a stop for coffee. It revived us and we kept going.
I would highly recommend Yuji to any one visiting Tokyo.

We had a great experience with our 6 hour walking tour. Yuji was our guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful through the whole experience. He took us to places that were family friendly and recommended good places to eat and enjoy. We recommend him for your next trip to Tokyo!!!
