“I had a great time on this tour with Frank! It is not the easiest to find local places serving vegetarian Ramen and this tour helped me try 4 amazing vegetarian ramen varieties! It really help me understand the different flavour profiles available across ramen. And apart from the ramen just talking to Frank was lovely! He gave me an overall low down on Tokyo and the places around and was happy to answer my 101 questions on things to do eat and see! Would highly reccomend”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 6 reviews · from $112

“Amazing tour and highly recommend. Firas met us at our hotel and took us on an incredible trip around Tokyo. We started with our local area and then went for a gluten free lunch, which he did an excellent job confirming it was safe for my partner to eat. The rest of the time was filled with his insight to Tokyo and taking us to popular areas with a locals knowledge of interesting unique places to visit near by. Can not recommend enough especially for gluten free (coeliac) people. Firas is really friendly amd helpful and offered to phone other restaurants for us to check if they were gluten free…”
