Our guide Tak was great! We had so much fun walking around Kyoto and trying the different kinds of food. At the end of the tour, we asked him to direct us to a particular shop we were looking for. Not only did he take us there, he also stayed after to make sure we did not have issues with communication! Thanks for your help Tak!

Our guide, Eduardo was really great! We had so much fun and tasted so many local dishes that we hadn’t tried. We had sweets for the kids and adults, tried food at different restaurants with sake and drinks and Eduardo gave us some history on the Gion and Pontocho districts as well as so much information about Kyoto that was really interesting. He was an excellent guide and I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Eduardo!

Sae was our guide and she was amazing. She knew the intricate history of the whole area. She picked fantastic restaurants for our dishes which included the best Ramen we have had In Japan. She made my son feel so special because she picked foods that she knew he would like. This is a food and history tour. Come ready to eat!

Great guide, beautiful night, and a great way to start our tour of Japan. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a “first night” experience in Kyoto, as not only does the walking tour feel good after the long flight, the introduction to language and etiquette has proven useful during our time in Japan.

This tour was a combination of a walking and food tour. Lauren was our guided and it was a very fun and interactive experience. Lauren gave lots of unique insight into the city and information about Japanese culture. She was a great guide and a lovely person, great to get to know and definitely made the tour worth our while. The food was delicious and really filling (probably more than enough) so I would suggest that you arrive on an empty stomach. Once and a life time experience you don't want to miss out on!

I felt very lucky when I joined this tour. Koichiro was a brilliant guide! He took us to a great selection of venues - great food and plenty of delicious sake. Very happy with the tour and the company - recommend both from first booking to saying goodbye at the end of the night. A superb evening - went exactly as it should have, great!
