“Was not a well organized tour. We booked a tour of the Tsukiji fish market, but our first stop on the tour was a temple and then the guide walked us over to the fish market area. The tour offered very little information on the history of the fish market and even less information on the daily going ons. We could have just walked the market on our own and probably learned more from that experience.”
