5.00Great foodie tour experience! By chance, my husband and I had a private food tour. Our guide was wonderful and give us an informational and interesting tour of Kyoto. We tried a number of dishes and were absolutely stuffed by the end of the evening. The dishes included a wide variety of foods, including tempura, sashimi, sushi, beef, squid, and sweets. Lots of drinks also included (unexpected) with an highlight of sake tasting! All around highly recommend!
Wonderful evening on a cool Kyoto night

5.00This was such an amazing experience. Our guide had so much knowledge about the history, culture, politics of the area, and answered every single question. Question. He aligned that with information about all the food and drinks. And then he concluded the night very generously offering us even more places in different cities to go experience. Incredible food. He made an atmosphere where everyone had a good time with lots of laughter.
