Walking Ramen Tour - Love this experience. It includes a walking tour along with the wonderful different types of Ramen. Got to experience different neighborhoods that I don’t think we would have found ourselves.

The most delicious tour - This is truly a very unique experience as we were able to sample several types of ramen with the mini bowls. Our guide was friendly and the shops we visited welcoming. Great background on the history of ramen, too!

would recommend - Frank taught us a lot about the origins, history, trends, and components of ramen! We got to try 12 different bowls between the two of us and each were distinctive and delicious. It was nice to walk in between each location with someone who clearly cares a lot about Tokyo and ramen. 10/10 would recommend. Great way to spend the day and know you're trying some of the best ramen in the city.

So delicious - This was a lovely tour. I can’t remember the name of the girl who led the tour (short brown hair) she was excellent and very informative. The ramen options were so delicious and a great variety.

Great Tour! - Great information, presented well and very organized. The communication before, during and after the tour was clear and well thought out. The ramen was very good. Our tour guide Frank was very personable, made a point to get to know each group within the tour and talk with them individually. There were single people, couples and even families with small children on the tour and everyone left happy.
