Our private bar-hopping experience in downtown Kyoto with our guide, Taiga, was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome and guided us through some of the city’s hidden gems that we never would’ve found on our own. We ate amazing local food, each stop offered something unique and delicious and enjoyed authentic drinks that perfectly matched the lively Kyoto nightlife. Taiga’s knowledge of the area, his great energy, and his fun personality made the evening even more memorable. We saw beautiful backstreets and cozy bars filled with character, laughter, and locals. It was the perfect mix of culture, great conversation, and pure fun. If you’re visiting Kyoto and want to experience it like a local, book this tour and if you’re lucky enough to get Taiga, you’re in for an unforgettable night! 🍶🍢

It was a great experience and the guide was full of knowledge. His depth on the subject was very deep. 1) The tea tour, was very interesting and the small of drying/roasting tea was ever present in the air. The dango tasting was very interesting too! 2) The temple –The beauty and gateway to a better place being created was very interesting. And we noted the temple is also the same one on the 10 yen coin too! One could spend all day at this temple. 3) The sake tour was amazing. The shop we went to had an excellent range of sake and the staff were very helpful too.

The food and drinks were great and Haruka was so good at walking us through everything. Such a fun time, and I would absolutely recommend this tour to any tourists visiting Kyoto. Ask for Haruka as your guide!! She’s the best!!

The bars were well chosen and all had an elegant and edgy ambience, felt clean & great mix of modern and classic quality. The tour leader was great at her job, very informative and open, putting each participant at ease with a great relationship with each bar. Excellent way to see some of the fineness of Kyoto compared to other cities in Japan

We were a group of 12 people which felt too many for one young guide to be able to give his full attention. The guide was a student in his early 20s. He took us to 3 places, 1st for food where we sat on the floor (traditional) then 2 bars close to each other for sake tasting then a karaoke bar. Be careful food and drinks not included in this tour so I would recommend you discuss how you want to split the bill at the beginning. Some participants may drink more than others and wouldn’t be fair to divide the bill equally. If you can afford it, choose a private tour so everything can be tailored to your liking.

The tour was amazing. We visited three different bars, tried different food (attention cause you need to pay extra for the drinks and food, it's cheap though). The guide was great and she showed us the traditions, explained us the drinking culture and answered all of our silly questions. At the end of the tour and in the last bar the group sticked around to have some additional drinks after the tour guide left.

This is a must-do tour when you visit Kyoto! Our guide, Soma, is friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Also other people who joined the tour were amazed. The places Soma took us to were amazing, like the Izakaya, sake restaurant and local bars that I wouldn’t have found on my own without joining this tour. This tour is suitable for everyone, whether you’re a couple or traveling solo. 
Thank you, Soma! I look forward to joining this tour again when I return to Kyoto!
