We didn't have a tour with Anne & Lauren. We had our tour with Hannah from the company "arigato TRAVEL." Fortunately, Hannah was an absolute pleasure. Our tour with her amounted to the highlight of my month long trip to Japan. Initially I was a bit disappointed that byFood subcontracted their tours after hearing so many positive things about the company online. But again, Hannah was superb, delivering a tour of the highest standard. Thank you, Hannah! Thank you arigato TRAVEL!

We had an excellent time experiencing the food tour . The guide Miki Yamada was very friendly and gave us a good insight of food culture & traditions of Japan . The food experience was good and the icing on cake was the dessert place she took us . Exploring ginza through the eyes of local was a different experience altogether. Highly recommend it to people who like true travellers want to explore the rich heritage of country.
