A Fantastic Introduction to the Kyoto Food Scene - Shumpei was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic about Kyoto's food scene. I strongly recommend one of his tours to help familiarize yourself with what Kyoto has to offer!

It was a special night in Kyoto! - It was a wonderful time! The guide told us about a hidden restaurant that I would never have found on my own, where we enjoyed many different types of sake and delicious Japanese food. It was my first time booking a guided tour, so it was a new experience for me, but thanks to our guide who knows Kyoto so well, I was able to spend a fulfilling evening. If you want to have a special stay in Kyoto that goes beyond just the tourist spots and famous shops, I highly recommend booking this guided tour.

A great time with Shumpei and friends - We had a wonderful time on the bar hopping tour with Shumpei. He was a fantastic host. If you ever come to Kyoto, please consider booking with him; he is friendly and lively. We visited three different bars, and it was interesting trying new foods and drinking sake. Highly recommend!

Great nightlife tour - There are not many bar tours at all in Kyoto who take tourists around town to explore the nightlife. As a solo traveler specially I highly recommend booking this tour. Shumpei was a great guide and he is a local. The restaurants had great food and drinks.
