Amazing time!! - I had the most amazing time on the eateries and History Tour in Asakusa! From the start, our guide Yota was so friendly and knowledgeble, making the whole experience very enjoyable. We got to try so many delisious local dishes, from tempura to traditional sweets. Each stop was perfect for getting a taste of the culture, and the food was absolutely fantastic! The history part was also really interesting, I didn’t knew much about Asakusa before, but now I feel like I understand it much better. The tour took us through hidden gems in the area that I wouldn’t have found on my own. I also loved how the guide explained the history behind each dish and location, giving us a full cultural experience. If you’re in Tokyo, this tour is a must! It was so fun and informative – definitely recommend it to anyone!

A fun tour of the main part of Asakusa - Had a fantastic time. Primarily because our guide Ryota was engaging, well informed, fun and helpful. This tour is a good quick trip to get the feel of Asakusa which will then also leave you plenty of time to later leisurely explore the place and go back and spend time at places you found interesting without having to worry about slowing others. Make sure you take an umbrella as it rained during our tour. Take a note of street food and shops on the road so you can go back to them leisurely.
