Hugo was an incredible guide: he was knowledgeable, interesting, and funny. We learned so much about Kyoto and about Japan on our tour and got to see areas of the city that we would not have explored on our own. We loved the bars and the variety of foods that were selected for us as well. We highly recommend Hugo and this tour for anyone visiting Kyoto.

Andre was great. He was informative & entertaining. The two spots he took us to were definitely places we wouldn’t have been able to discover on our own. Food & drinks were delicious!

We had a wonderful evening with Karim and the other guests on the tour. We learnt a lot and saw parts of Gion that we would not have found by ourselves. The food at both restaurants was delicious. Thank you, Karim
