Review for: Kyoto Night Foodie tour

Overall a fun food / sake walking tour . Our guide brought us to some places I would have never discovered . The sake from Kyoto was yum and the food was delicious. The guide was knowledgeable on the different dishes of the region and history of the neighborhood. I only deduct a star because I felt like it was very expensive compared to other food tours I’ve done.

We really enjoyed this tour! Our tour guide Yusuke was friendly and informative, he helped our group feel comfortable to open up and share stories as we ate and drank around Kyoto. As it was everyone in the group's first night in Kyoto, he shared a lot of recommendations and helpful tips we could use for the rest of out time in the city. Highly recommend this tour!

This is a must do tour while in Kyoto. Our guide, Eri was fantastic. Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She took us to places we would never have found ourselves and gave us a lot of information about Kyoto along the way. There was a lot of food, all of which was amazing quality & our family of 5 loved the tour. Would highly recommend
