Yanni was an amazing tour guide - we had the best day! He showed us all around the market, told us about the history and introduced us to all the great spots. We had a private tour which was awesome and amazing for a couples trip or a family. We would definitely recommend this tour as the market is overwhelming and it’s great to hit all the best spots with a local foodie!
Yanni is a great travel guide! We booked him for the Tsukiji Fish Market food tour, and got a bonus starting tour at the temple nearby. He gave great historical information on the area, the temple, and instructions on how to appropriately act when visiting temples and shrines. He also gave great information on what his favourite foods in the food market are, which made for a very delicious time! I will be recommending Fantastic Travel to all of my future friends and family travelling to Japan.
Highly recommend! Yanni, was excellent. His English is great and he has a very good knowledge of the shrines and fish market. I really enjoyed some new food experiences. He was easy going but also provided gentle push to try.
Considerable walking but worth it to see how the markets operate. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Very considerate!
Yanni was the best tour guide. His English is perfect (he went to high school in the US). We did a Tsukiji Fish Market tour. The food was incredible and he knew so much history as well. Probably the best Tour Guide we’ve had our entire trip. I cannot recommend enough.
Yanni was an amazing tour guide. He was on time and very knowledgeable. Definitely book with him. He was our best tour guide yet!
Yanni was an excellent guide. He took us through the market and to the best spots. My ragú was the absolute best tasting ever and the sake at the end of the tour, OMG!! Trust his with your taste buds, he not disappoint.
Yanni was very informative and took us to great eateries! All the food was delicious and you definitely got your moneys worth!
Was an amazing experience. We were taken to the best places in town you wouldent go to with him.
Super fun food tour. Went with my family and loved how I got to choose my own food throughout the tour.
The absolute best experience we had in Tokyo! Yanni was an outstanding guide, knowledgeable, super friendly, and incredibly attentive to our needs. We didn't just walk around; we learned so much about the rich history and culture behind every delicious bite we took. The local spots we visited were phenomenal, far away from the usual tourist traps. If you are on the fence or hesitating about booking this tour, do yourself a favor and JUST BOOK IT!
Best guide ever! We had an incredible time on this tour. The food was fantastic, and learning about Japanese history made it even more interesting. The toro and fresh fruits were incredibly delicious! It was an awesome experience from start to finish.
This was one of the best tours we did in Tokyo! Our guide was outstanding—his English was excellent, he communicated clearly before and after the tour, and he made everything easy and enjoyable. He knew all the best spots in Tsukiji Market and shared fascinating cultural and historical insights that made the experience so much more meaningful. His recommendations and guidance were fantastic throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend this tour!
Our Tsukiji Market tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Tokyo! Our guide was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. His communication before the tour was excellent, making it easy to know exactly where to meet and what to expect. After the tour, he even followed up with additional recommendations, which we really appreciated. His English was exceptional, and he explained everything in a way that was engaging, easy to understand, and full of fascinating cultural insights. Rather than simply showing us around, he helped us understand the history, traditions, and etiquette behind what we were seeing and tasting, which made the experience so much more meaningful. The best part was that he clearly knew Tsukiji inside and out. He took us to incredible vendors that we never would have found on our own, introduced us to amazing food, and timed everything perfectly to avoid crowds whenever possible. It felt like exploring the market with a knowledgeable local friend who knew all the hidden gems. If you’re considering a Tsukiji Market tour, don’t hesitate to book this one. It was informative, delicious, well-organized, and genuinely memorable. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Japanese food culture and some fantastic recommendations for the rest of our stay in Tokyo. Highly recommended!
World-class Tsukiji fish market tour. Yanni knows all the best hidden spots to find the finest food around. This was easily our favourite tour during our stay in Tokyo. Amazing personalised service and absolutely outstanding food. His English is fluent and communication was effortless. I would join this tour again without hesitation.
Wonderful food tour of the Tsujuki Market. Request Yanni he provided a totally personalized tour. We tried all types of interesting sushi, sashimi, fruits and vegetables, shopping for culinary items. Bought a beautiful new knife. I can’t recommend this tour enough!!
Yanni did a great job. This is the best tour that we have done in Tokyo. Personalized service and the food was outstanding! First class. No doubt that you will enjoy his company. His English was perfect. I would do this tour again in a heart beat!
Yanni was amazing. Enthusiastic organized and fun to be with.
Yanni is a wonderful guide who knows exactly where to find the best food at the market! He is also a very interesting storyteller when it comes to Japanese history. I highly recommend this tour, and I will definitely come back again!
Such an amazing experience! Yanni was accommodating for all of our needs. My mom has knee problems and he made sure to keep things slow for her and making sure that we still had a fantastic experience. Visiting Japan I wanted to go to Tsukiji Fish Market but it seem so overwhelming to pick places to go. Found this tour and thought that is was exactly what we all wanted. Yanni met us at Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple and gave us a history of the temple and then we headed to the market. Yanni was able to get us to all the viral places that you see on social media, but also get us to places that you don't see on social media. Learning about some of the stalls and how they source their product was interesting and kept us all wanting more. If you have a few hours this is a must and Yanni is the guide that you didn't now that you needed!
