Awesome walking tour

5.00On this tour, it ended up being just me and the tour guide Ully. She was so nice and very knowledgeable about the area and gave a lot of insight into the culture. Since it was just the two of us, it was very relaxed and personalized. We stopped and tried some really good gluten-free/vegetarian food, but the tour also included quite a bit of site-seeing, which I really appreciated. I feel I saw more everyday things that you probably wouldn’t get to see on other tours. I would absolutely recommend this tour. Thanks Ully!
A fantastic tour with Firas a wonderful guide. Take this tour even if gluten free or vegan has nothing to do with you!

5.00This tour was so much more than just gluten free or a vegan Tokyo experience! This is a tour for everyone who wants to experience all that Tokyo has to offer under the guidance of a superbly knowledgeable tour guide. The tour really started the night before with excellent communication from our wonderfully friendly guide Firas who checked in with us to understand more about what we wanted to see and that we could find our meeting point. On meeting Firas took us for lunch and went to great lengths to make sure all would be safe to eat for the coeliacs. However for those not gluten free, anywhere we ate had regular options to enjoy plus Firas added in options suitable for my teenage daughter to eat. After lunch we headed off to criss cross the city seeing so much of what Tokyo has to offer at a good steady pace. Firas was patient and kind, it was a hot day and he constantly checked in to make sure we were doing ok and we had lots of water, ice blocks and if we needed to stop. At lots of our stops he let us make decisions such as whether we wanted to climb things or keep going onto other places. My daughter and I throughly enjoyed this tour and we highly recommend it. Even if gluten free or vegan has nothing to do with you please consider this tour as your first and best option.
Excellent gluten free tour!

5.00Much more than we anticipated A++++. Very good tour with lots of food! Faris was instrumental in finding gluten free, safe food. The tour lasted a bit over 5 hours and we viewed many of Tokyo's sites including temples, parks, and observation points. Very good tour!

5.00I have been a vegetarian for a long time. I was a little bit worried to go to Japan because I didn’t know what to expect regarding the food. Martina made us discover a world I did not even think it existed. not only did she take to very cozy places, but she carefully explained to us every dishes. this allowed us to enjoy the experience to its fullest. thank you very much Martina!

5.00I am celiac, and I was initially apprehensive about visiting Japan due to concerns raised by friends who had been there before. They mentioned the potential difficulty of finding gluten-free options, primarily due to the language barrier. However, the tour turned out to be an incredible experience. I discovered that it is indeed possible to enjoy gluten-free meals in Tokyo. The guide was instrumental in assisting me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. Not only did I get to explore the city, but I also found satisfying and safe dining options. It was a fantastic trip, and my worries about gluten-free choices in Japan were pleasantly proven wrong.
Pleasent surprise
