Engaging tour with a great guide - I found the market very engaging. My guide, Yutaka, was my personal favorite of the five volunteer guides I toured with while in Japan.

Lovely Guide! - Hikaru was extremely friendly, kind, and funny! A wonderful tour guide and I am sad to see him off. Very knowledgeable and personable, waited patiently for our members with a baby. If you want to stop somewhere just ask and he will be happy to explain or give you time. Thank you for the tour!

Everything Nishiki Market - Tammy is nice and informative about nishiki market area, about the geikos/ maikos, taught us how to pay respect at the shrines and introduced traditional items and snacks/food to us. I wish the tour included a visit to the pagoda in Gion. I was expecting to see a little bit of the famous Gion street.

Very nice tour guide, but more food spots would have been nice - A solid exploration, quite a few food spots to try things. Lunch was tasty too, got authentic tofu skin dish, which is something I wouldn’t have tried before. Wish we got some samples from the street included in the price but our tour guide was super sweet and spoke excellent English!
