This was a great introduction to the Nishiki Market in Kyoto. We got to experience so many of the markets wares; in addition we had a brunch at a local restaurant. Suffice it to say we did not suffer from hunger after this! Highly recommend.

Tour guide and tour were lovely but not enough info in the description. First hour is a tour of a geisha district which we did not understand. Also - the brunch is at a restaurant with very limited lunch special options. Would have been much happier just to eat food in the market. Tour guide was informative and very good English.

This was a great way to explore the market without being intimidated. We tried so much food that we wouldn’t have tried on our own.

The first half was spent walking to Nishiki Market. It was interesting but we had heard much of this information already from other tours. Nishiki market was fun, but very crowded. We spent about 45 minutes there and then had lunch at a restaurant outside the market. Good tour but not all Nishiki market.

Rakel was an excellent guide! Managed to connect with the 14 year old too! Gained some basic knowledge and had a pleasant and smooth experience, saved us some unnecessary hassle. Thank you lovely Rakel.
