mex f2024-05-23Tsumago and more Hello, despite the weather forecast being bad, we did the tour allthesame, but without the hiking. Lena was a competent and very fine guide, and there were no problems changing the itineraire on the fly. It was a very good experience and we con only recommend it highly
Johnny Archer2024-05-22Worth the Expense, Just Do It Worth it. You think you read so many web pages that you are prepared for Japan, but you aren't. We could have tried some of these things on our own of course, but we definitely would have missed out on a lot by doing so. Little things like the service button at one restaurant, the different ways to eat the eel, the way you eat Nagoya noodles, and the hidden gem of a huge subterranean market with every snack and dessert imaginable. In addition, we got tips about navigation, customs and laws to follow, and more.
The Eating Ashman2024-05-17Excellent walking food tour to Osu shopping street, Nagoya Lena from "Nagoya is not Boring" was a fantastic tour guide - patient, knowledgeable and friendly! Being a local, she has experience with this area so the tour was particularly detailed and full of excellent local information. We visited a small local shrine and she talked about the significance of some of the symbols and the correct way to wash your hands and give offerings. Then we walked towards the Osu Shopping Street to stop for some green tea and sweets in a beautiful boutique tea shop. Along the way she pointed out lots of beautiful Japanese gardens and also took us to see a 200 year old Bonsai tree. I’m not a huge fan of green tea, but this was fantastic. She provided lots of information about the tea and how to drink it and we had a nice chat about Nagoya. Next we went to the Osu Shopping Street to try some local street food - Grilled rice on a stick that's been dipped in red miso sauce (I think it was called Menshi), mochi dango and one of the best egg sandwiches I’ve ever had (not from 711) I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in Nagoya. Excellent experience!!
Quest344670663582024-04-11Lena is great We did a wonderful, very interesting private tour with Lena in Nagoya. We learned a lot of interesting things about Japan. The tea ceremony was a special experience for us. Thanks to Lena for the lovely day and the good tips and answers to all our questions. Nagoya is not boring and Lena is great!!!
DayTrip528682944682024-04-09A great Tour to experience more about Sake We had a wonderful evening with our guide Sakurai-san. He explained a lot to us about sake. We had great food and very tasty sake. The time went by far too quickly. A really nice experience if you are interested in sake. I would definitely book the tour again.
Celine2024-04-09Greatly recommend for anyone ! No regrets booking the tour. I think we spend slightly longer time as it should be. We had a great time understanding sake, the history and culture. Elly put in great effort to explain some details. I love the local Izakaya, would love to go back there next time in Nagoya. The second place (modern), free flow sake was of course essential for us. :) Thank you for giving good memories of Nagoya. Highly recommended!
Greg R2024-04-06Recommend tour. Erica was an excellent guide to show us around Nagoya. She was very friendly and had a lot of information not just about the food culture, but Japanese culture. Thank you
Davina2024-01-21Foodie Tour Nagoya Our foodie guide Erica was wonderful & very informative about the food that we were eating & all the questions that we asked. All food tastes are catered for and we can thoroughly recommend doing this tour in Nagoya, very casual and great 2 hours very well spent exploring the local cuisines at the Market, especially the chicken balls 10/10. After the 2 hrs you can continue to shop and explore the area or go look in on a Temple or Shine is the same area. A huge thank you once again. The Campbell Family
73Lynne2023-12-31Worth the Experience!! Liaising with the Nagoya is Not Boring team was excellent from the start! They were very responsive and pro-active ! Elly was a fantastic guide and accommodated us with our non alcoholic drinks for some members despite it being a sake tour! We learnt quite a bit from this tour - how to pour the sake, what to say and how to drink it correctly. Elly was very informative on sake and her being to explain and read Japanese made it so much easier for us! Going to the traditional restaurants was an experience and probably something we wouldn't have done easily by ourselves! Thank you Elly & team!
Britt Hudepohl2023-11-17Great tour! The tour was very interesting. Our guide appje English very well and showed us the beautiful hidden sides of Nagoya. We also had a tea experience, which was an experience in itself. If you want to learn more about Nagoya and see the things you normally don’t see, I recommend you this tour!
