Toru was the best guide! - Signed up for Toyosu fish auction and Tsukiji market tour and I was so lucky to get Toru! If there is a way to request a specific guide, I would definitely recommend it! He sent me detailed instructions ahead of time about where to ask cab driver to take us (in Japanese), he spoke perfect English, he was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions, and he made us reservations at an amazing sushi restaurant at Toyosu so we could taste fresh tuna after watching the audition. He then took us to a knife shop so my husband could get his Japanese kitchen knife, and took my kids to get mochi sweets! He even helped direct us on public transit to our next location! He was the best and we absolutely recommend him!!

great tour of fish market - Excellent tour, Toru was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped us to avoid the crowd, and communicated well in advance with all the details we needed. For the cost of the tour it would have been nice to have the meal included, although the sushi place we were taken to was the best sushi we ever had.

Top Notch/Highly Recommended Fish Market Tour - This is a must see experience in Tokyo and our tour guide Mami was top notch and world class. Tour started with a visual viewing of the fish auction which included a full explanation of the history, operations, products and logistics of the market itself. Fascinating. Second half of the trip involves a food/vendor tour of the Tsukjii market area. We purchased a knife and sampled Wagu beef from a vendor. Bluefin tuna line was too long and we missed that opportunity. This tour was fantastic and the highlight of my trip. Mami is a world class tour operator and will be remembered. Thank you Mami!

Personable, informed guide of the tuna auction & Tsujiki market - We had a great three hour tour with Toru! Started off at the tuna auction at Toyosu, followed by a very reasonably priced and delicious omakase meal and then a tour of Tsujiki market (where there were vendors of seafood, teas, ice cream, ceramics, and snacks). Toru was both extremely knowledgeable and personable. Great with both adults and children - he showed my young son origami so we could finish our omakase in peace! Lastly, clear and detailed communication was provided ahead of the tour so we were able to get the best viewing spot of the auction.

The great tuna experience - GOREILA communicated with us before we left the USA on our expectations for the trip. Our guide met us in our hotel lobby. It was a stress free experience and very informative. GOREILA made sure we had great views and explained everything very well. He even brought photos and charts. GOREILA created an enjoyable experience for us.

Everything you can know about the fish action in one tour. - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Goreilo. He was very knowledgeable of the fish market auction and made sure we got front row views of the action. He made the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. He met us in the lobby of our hotel and seamlessly guided us to and around the various venues by way of various transportation means. He also contacted us before we even arrived in Japan to learn our interests and needs. He is quite the professional.
