Wonderful tour with our guide, Shiro! - We had an incredible tour of the Tsukiji Outer Market. Shiro was our guide and we could not have asked for a better person to lead us through the market. The tour started at 9AM. It was raining and cold all morning but Shiro greeted us with such kindness and a smile on his face. He welcomed all questions throughout the tour, even if our questions were not directly related to the tour. We learned about the different vendors at the market, and different foods. Shiro ordered all of the food that we tried, which we greatly appreciated (as we don't speak Japanese). He was very professional and considerate, asking us if we wanted to try certain dishes before ordering. He gave us recommendations for foods/restaurants to try, and tips about the market. We did this tour on our second day in Japan and it was a wonderful way to be introduced to various traditional foods. We did not want the tour to end! We cannot thank Shiro enough for this wonderful tour- highly recommend.

Truly appreciate the... - Truly appreciate the details our tour guide pointed out and the sharing of different food at market. A few nice surprises we learned on the way when browsing through the market / vendors and 1 surprise impromptu tasting of a soup made me to go back and purchase a pack. Nice nice tour.

Amazing Tour and Guide! - Amazing food tour with Rir Matsufuji and couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Her knowledge of Japanese food was outstanding and all the recommendations made were top notch. We were traveling with a 1 year old and we appreciated her patience and help at all times. Even our baby had a blast eating all the delicious food at the market! Once our tour was completed she even helped us with any additional tips we needed for our trip. I highly recommend Rir for this tour! We will be back soon!

Great Guide and Come Hungry - Chihiro was a FANTASTIC guide. Her english was perfect as her was her knowledge of the area. She was so friendly and took our family's food preferences into account. She treated us to some off the radar special places and kept us from many of the lines we would have been stuck in. I highly recommend this tour and cannot stress the need to come hungry. You will be well fed.

A great sampling of great cuisine - What an amazing time! Our guide Rie was very knowledgable and knew exactly where to take us. Not only did we get to try fresh sashimi, but we also sampled other Japanese classics like ramen and mochi. I wish we had done this tour earlier in our trip so that we could have come back for seconds.

Worth every penny - This tour was worth every penny. Our guide was excellent and showed us around the market which would have very overwhelming on our own. It included meals at different restaurants/vendors we would never have known to try or find. A tip is to come hungry because portion sizes are large. Our guide Chihiro was fantastic and even volunteered her time after the tour to help translate with a local knife shop owner in the market where we bought a custom knife. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent tour with Rie, highly recommend - A great tour of the outer fish market with Rie! It was great to have her guide us through the market and tell us about the history of the place as well as all the different food types around. Her enthusiasm for food was appreciated! She also kindly waited in line for the foods we were keen to try and recommended the best places to go. Our sushi lunch was also excellent. It was a great way to visit and understand more about a very busy but interesting part of Tokyo.

Great tour of Tsukiji - My husband and I had a great time with Rie. She had such great insider knowledge of the market and the produce. She was friendly and answered all our questions, and always had smile on her face. We tried a great variety of food, including some that we wouldn't have tried without the tour! 100% recommend to others!
