Kyoto 1-day Tours

Midori is a great guide with a lot of recommendations for coffee, food, shopping, etc. These recommendations also aren't limited to Kyoto either, so she is a great resource for therest of your Japan trip.

Yoshiko was a great guide. We did so much in the short time we had together. She was so nice and eager to share the history of Uji and matcha with us.

Very friendly and helpful staff at the Office that helped us when we went to the wrong meetingplace. Thank you! Our guide was very helpful and shared both his sake and deep Kyoto-knowledge with many smiles. We learned a lot about sake and enjoyed the tour very much

Had a private tour with Michiko from Omakase Tour. Recommend 100%. Went to three shrines, the Nishki market for lunch at a fish stall, then finished it up at Nijo Castle before heading back to Osaka. Thank you, Michiko!

It was great and a lot of explanation was given. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the historical Kyoto neighbourhood. We have tasted very nice sake, beer and yakkitori food and the hosts/guides did a great job! Kind regards, Bruno, Flo and Vincent

This was a peaceful and unique experience. Masaki was very welcoming and the ladies at the matcha ceremony were so lovely.

Anya was a great guide and showed my group some amazing Sake distilleries in Fushimi. We all enjoyed the tour along with the yakitori at the end. We bought multiple bottles of sake that we tried along the way. Would defiantly recommend this tour for anyone interested in sake or would like to visit some local locations.

Our tour today with Madori was amazing. It felt like a friend was showing us around Kyoto. As visitors to Kyoto I doubt we would have found the places Madori took us to. The food and drinks at all 3 places were delicious. Madori didn’t want us to miss out on any experiences while we are in Kyoto and gave us so many great recommendations for restaurants, cafés and local parks. Highly recommend doing the coffee&shopping tour.

We had a wonderful time, thank you!

I had a wonderful experience with Midori-san. I enjoyed a local tour with her as my guide, and she was very informative, attentive, and considerate of all my needs. Midori-san also runs her cooking classes and offers many other tours. I highly recommend trying her classes to experience authentic Japanese cuisine and learn many fascinating facts about Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori-san

The guides were very pleasant and answered questions. I felt I knew somewhat more about saki and brewing methods at the end of the tour.

Booked a sake tour on our first day in Japan as a way to become immersed in Japan and Seigo totally delivered. He is a total gentleman, with the knowledge of a scholar and skills and experience of a professional. We were very impressed by his in depth facts and historical context of every street, shop, and brewer. He is a certified sake sommelier and possibly the nicest, kindest person. We spent a great deal of time together talking about topics outside his wheelhouse too with great comfort. I would recommend this tour, and Seigo in particular, for anyone seeking an authentic, memorable experience.
