Passeios por Nishiki Market

This was a tour I used while contemplating my first trip to Japan with just my son. I had a lot of worries, but thanks to our guides Ruri and Woohui, who are fluent in both Korean and English, and our bus driver who drove safely, we were able to have a fun and enjoyable tour. The places they recommended at each tour point were also excellent. I plan to use this tour again next time. It would be great if we could meet 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, competently led us, and helped us with our shopping. This way, we got a fantastic introduction to Kyoto that we never would have managed on our own with just "onboard resources."

Tuvimos una experiencia increíble con Tom como nuestro guía turístico en Kioto. Desde el principio, todo se sintió completamente personalizado. Nos recibió en la estación de tren e hizo que el día fuera fluido y sin estrés. Incluso se excedió del tiempo programado, lo que añadió un valor inesperado. Tom nos presentó puestos de comida que nunca habríamos encontrado por nuestra cuenta, incluyendo chocolate matcha, encurtidos y especias de sésamo. Elevó nuestras visitas al Mercado de Nishiki, el Bosque de Bambú de Arashiyama y Fushimi Inari Taisha, y también se tomó el tiempo para enseñarnos la etiqueta adecuada del santuario, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera más significativa. Un gran punto culminante fueron las fotos. Tom tomó más de 100 hermosas fotos de mi esposo y de mí durante nuestra luna de miel, las cuales atesoraremos para siempre. Solo eso hizo que el tour no tuviera precio. En general, esta experiencia superó con creces nuestras expectativas. Tom es conocedor, atento y genuinamente dedicado a crear un día inolvidable. ¡Recomendaría encarecidamente reservar con él si visita Kioto!

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 valuable trip to Nara and Kyoto. While you could choose to visit Nara, Kyoto, Kobe/Himeji, Shiga, and Wakayama separately, the advantage here is seeing two historical sites at once. World Heritage sites like Kasuga Taisha, Todai-ji Temple, Byodo-in Temple, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple are magnificent no matter how many times you visit. We thank veteran guide Jeon Yun-cheol, the Japanese bus driver for their safe driving, and the schedule was appropriate for the time spent.

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! 🙏
