We didn't have trouble finding our guide. Directions were good and easy to follow. We had a small group and our guide was friendly and well versed in the culture and history of Tokyo. We really enjoyed tasting all the different foods. We recommend this walking tour as you get to immerse yourself in the tastes, sounds and the ambiance of local Tokyo. We also had great communication with Veltra. They were prompt to respond to your questions and made the process of booking very easy.

VELTRA says:
When in Tokyo, eat as the Tokyoites do. Go off the beaten path, eat alongside Japan's working class, get an intro to Tokyo drinking and dining culture and stop for local bites at food stalls and hidden restaurants.
