The ramen tour was great. We got to try different types of ramen, from the traditional styles to some spins on ramen. Everything was delicious! Our guide, Makayla, did a great job of explaining all ramen to us and added narration while we walked from place to place. The amount of food was perfect where we didn’t feel uncomfortable at the end, but definitely satisfied.

Bruce and Ling were great, knowledgeable guides! We booked the izakaya and ramen tour and they showed us some great hidden spots we never would have thought to visit, and the food was excellent. Recommend booking a tour at the start of your stay in Fukuoka so they can provide other recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit.
