Delicious, customized food tour - Riri was an excellent tour guide who went out of her way to find good restaurants, even though one of our requests was unusual (for soup curry) and my husband is gluten intolerant. She was was easy to talk to and shared many interesting experiences with us - and her English is excellent. We had a great experience. We were just too full to eat all the food that we had planned on, so we will go back to one of the suggested restaurants later.

Great food with a great guide - We wanted to eat authentic Japanese food in local non tourist places and we did. Our guide Yuko contacted directly to ask what we wanted to focus on, and designed the itinerary so we went to a variety of places, including a second floor restaurant where we had grilled eel, a conveyor belt sushi place, a Chinese restaurant where we learned that gyoza are actually Chinese in origin. A satisfying, not to mention filling food tour.

Flexible guide and local experience! - Going to the suburbs of yokohama to where the locals go to hike and eat. Estela from City Unscripted tours can show you the city, or the hidden gems on the outskirts. Amazing experience!

Yokohama tour with awesome sushi - We had a lovely tour of Yokohama with Hiroshi, our guide. We toured much of the city center and did a lot of walking. We worked up an appetite and ended the tour at a wonderful sushi restaurant, Sushi Ebihara, that Hiroshi recommended. It was superb!!!

Yokohama Tour - We were completely delighted with this tour! Our guide seemed like a dear friend, warm and fun to be with. She customized the tour according to our interests, giving us a thorough view of Yokohama and the city life. We enjoyed local foods in a boisterous market setting, including fresh strawberries on a stick. We strolled the gardens and park areas, making a big circle around the waterfront area, returning to our cruise ship with fond memories of our Yokohama experience, thanks to our guide Estela!

Excellent Food Tour Experience - It was our first time on a City Unscripted tour, and in fact our very first private food tour experience. I must say it was an excellent experience, one of the best parts of our Yokohama trip. After we booked the tour via City Unscripted, we were asked to fill in a questionnaire to indicate our preference, then a Yokohama local tour guide, Hiro, was soon assigned to contact with us. Hiro was a Japanese who spoke and wrote English very well. Based on our preference, Hiro had drafted a plan of the food tour that suited our interest in advance of our Yokohama trip. Based on our feedback, all changes to the plan were well communicated with us beforehand. Our City Unscripted food tour was on the first day of our 4 days Yokohama trip. During the tour, Hiro led us to enjoy some tasty Japanese food. Since it was a Yokohama local tour, Hiro also prepared some presentation slides to tell us more about the history of Yokohama. Our guide had prepared well for our tour. Knowing that we would visit some of the tourist spots in Yokohama for the following days, Hiro was also kind enough to teach us the transportation means to the spots as well as how to purchase entrance tickets for the spots. Our guide’s support didn’t end after the tour, Hiro continuously provided us with support throughout the rest of our trip. He stayed in contact with us, answered our questions when we need, which was very helpful. It was a very special and excellent food tour experience. We were glad to have Hiro from City Unscripted as our guide in Yokohama.

Yokohama food tour - Estella was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We did this tour on a Sunday afternoon and there were long lines and some places we couldn’t get into. Weekdays may be better.
