Eat with local in Kyoto - Soma was fantastic host, we leanred a lot about Kyoto's culture and nightlife from him. Also the food was excellet, and he took me to the restaurants which we've never found on our own. Must do experience!

Gion walking Tour. - Good food and a nice easy walk. A lovely small group of people and the guide kept in touch before the tour. Night is not the time to see Geisha.

Not worth the cost - After we booked the tour, we were contacted that there was no guide available for the date we booked, and asked to change to that night. We did, but I wonder if that meant our group was larger than normal? There were 13 of us, and I don't think the guide was used to a group of that size. She would walk to a spot and start talking, which meant the 2 or 3 people in front were the only ones who could hear her. A couple of times, by the time the last of our group got there, the guide was already done talking and heading to the next stop. The 2 restaurants we stopped at felt very touristy, and we could have found them on our own. The amount of food ordered was not enough for everyone in the group to try everything, so after the tour we had to stop at a Lawson for more food. The guide was lovely, but this tour was absolutely overpriced. We paid over $100 each, but $30 would have been more appropriate.
