Nishiki Market tours

It was my first trip to Japan with just my son, so I was hesitant, but I ended up using this tour. I was very worried, but thanks to our guides Ruri and Woohee, who are fluent in both Korean and English, and the bus driver who drove us safely, I was able to have a fun tour with my son. The places they recommended at each tour point were also great. I plan to use the tour again next time. I hope I can see you again then~! Thank you!

We had a great day exploring Kyoto with Michiko. she was a very kind lady and full of local information. She had a perfect itinerary scheduled and adapted it on the go to fit our needs. We would definitely recommend her and her services to anyone looking to explore Kyoto.

A super tour, with a good mix of culture and street food/market. Austen was a great guide who speaks excellent English, guided us competently, and helped us with shopping. It was a great introduction to/in Kyoto that we never could have achieved on our own with just "onboard resources".

We had an incredible experience with Tom as our tour guide in Kyoto. From the start, everything felt completely customized. He met us at the train station and made the day seamless and stress free. He even went beyond the scheduled time, which added so much unexpected value. Tom introduced us to food stands we never would have found on our own, including matcha chocolate, pickles, and sesame spice. He elevated our visits to Nishiki Market, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, and Fushimi Inari Taisha, and also took the time to teach us proper shrine etiquette, which made the experience more meaningful. A huge highlight was the photos. Tom took over 100 beautiful pictures of my husband and me during our honeymoon, which we will cherish forever. That alone made the tour priceless. Overall, this experience far exceeded our expectations. Tom is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in creating an unforgettable day. I would highly recommend booking with him if you are visiting Kyoto!

We really enjoyed our guide Tai!! He is a student and is so sweet. He showed us his favorite spots in Nishiki market. Great food tastings. Thank you from Las Vegas

Amazing market, it has bit of everything, bit crowded closer to noon, museum was great. Tour guide was really nice, sophisticated and very helpful, really enjoy this trip.

This is a worthwhile trip to Nara and Kyoto. You could choose to visit Nara, Kyoto, Kobe/Himeji, Shiga, and Wakayama separately, but there is an advantage to seeing two heritage sites at once. Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Todaiji Temple, Byodo-in Temple, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple are all World Heritage sites and are wonderful places to visit again and again. Thank you to veteran guide Jeon Yun-cheol, and thank you to the Japanese driver of the large bus for safe driving and a schedule that was appropriate for the time allotted.

Etsuko was an amazing guide, she was very patient and obliging to our every need. She was very knowledgeable and adapted the tour to make sure we weren’t covering anything we had already seen. If you want to make the most of your Kyoto trip, spending time with a local is will elevate your experience. If you are on the fence about booking then I would say go for it. We can’t thank you enough Etsuko! 🙏
