The food, alcohol, and restaurants that were included were nothing short of great. Our tour guide Chikako was super friendly and fun. She provided in depth information on each food that was being served. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to try a blend of dishes from Kyoto while also learning about the dishes themselves.

Great foodie experience in Kyoto! Sora was a cool, easy-going, yet very clear in explaining us about all the foods we had today. Wagyu beef was my favourite and can’t recommend it highly enough. You should do this tour when in Kyoto! A must :) Kudos to Ninja food tours specially to your great guide, Sora! Arigatou Gozaimasu
