Memories we will never forget! - Much fun experience with our lovely tour guide, Marie. The drink, food and company was splendid. Loved how Marie was prepared to share all kinds of traditions and how sake is made. I definitely would do it again when I return to Japan-ask for Marie, she’s the best!!

Favorite part of our trip! - The Kyoto food tour was one of our favorite experiences of our entire trip! Our tour guide, Naoya, made it so fun and introduced us to so much amazing food! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He told us about the local culture and food and took us to spots we would have never ventured into. We felt like we got more of a local experience then we could have ever seen by ourselves. 100% recommend this tour😊

Wonderful introduction to Kyoto - Uta made this experience warm and welcoming! I booked this very last minute and she reached out promptly with clear instructions to confirm. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. She put a lot of effort into explaining the dishes and drinks that we ordered, and walked us around some of the most beautiful parts of the city that you may not find on your own as a tourist. Lovely start to my time in Kyoto!

Fun, food and great company - Uta was an excellent match for our group and had a fabulous sense of fun. We had plenty of wonderful authentic Kyoto dishes to try, a visit to an izakaya in the geisha area and the. finishing the tour with a matcha tea.
We would highly recommend this guided tour.

Best first night in town activity - True Kyoto experience with a welcoming, warm guide! Uta took us to a local restaurant that gave us the genuine taste of the food of kyoto. It was amazing. She shared history and tips on what to do during our stay. Plus, she took us to try some of the more daring local foods, it was very fun.
