5.00Tour was good, even though I was the only one on tour with my guide 😊. This made for a private tour that allowed me to connect with my tour guide one-on-one and create an even better experience. The food was great at the different restaurants we visited and also got to try some Japanese plum wine, which was amazing!
Great private food tour of Gion

2.00This tour was not what we expected , food tasting were very limited and you can get this at any market stand for a lot cheaper No sushi was given Our Guide was great and 5 stars- but she was obviously struggling to paint this awful trip as something special - whoever came up with restaurant selections was trying to rip off customers
Outstanding tour for Foodies

5.00Yuma met us and proceeded to provide us with history and information about Kyoto. His ability to converse in English was refreshing as he spoke fluent English. He took us to shops that had authentic treats and foods from Kyoto and then proceeded to our first food stop. We were treated to an authentic multi course Japanese dinner, which was outstanding. The second stop was to a bar, where we had a choice of Japanese drinks with a snack and he shares additional history of the area. We then walked to our last stop for desert and had choices of several authentic Japanese deserts along with a choice of beverages. The evening was completed by Yuma returning us to the starting point. You can't miss with this tour.
