    Our group leader was very earnest and capable however, our first stop did not materialize due to some lack of confirmation on behalf of the organization. This meant that we missed out on our first stop however, our group leader did his very best to accommodate us. Also, I would suggest that in future, the group should meet at or close by the first venue. We had a great deal of unnecessary walking/travel and this could have easily been rectified.

    Yo is a friendly and knowledgeable host. He ensured everyone in the group (five people from three different parts of the world) was included and enjoyed the tour.

    Lemonie provided a fantastic food tour and even shared recommendations for the rest of our trip! We genuinely enjoyed tasting all the dishes and all the stories she shared. She brought so much knowledge and personality to the experience, and it really made our last day in Kyoto memorable. It was a great experience and I highly recommend!

    The guide was on time, great English. We learned about the food and culture. We ate at few places and tasted many dishes and learned many new things about the Japanese food culture.
