Solid experience - Solid experience with Sayaka. Went to bars that we wouldn't normally go to. Would recommend the 5:30pm izakaya tour if you're okay with an early start. We only had 5 people in our group which was nice and cosy, whereas the next group had 15 people. Sayaka gave us options to order what we wanted to to let her take the reign which was an awesome gesture. We chose her recommendations and it was 👌 Make sure you have some small bills as the food and drinks are not included so we split the bill after. But totally worth. Sayaka also gave us some other recommendations around Kyoto which have been solid recommendations. Thank you for a great time.

Amazing Experience! - I had a lovely time on this tour! Our guide, Taiga, was personable and took us to spots I wouldn’t have found on my own. We started with Izakaya and Taiga was able to accommodate mine and my girlfriend’s dietary restrictions. Afterwards, we went to a sake tasting and had the opportunity to learn a bit more about different types of local sake. We finished the tour off at a local bar that offered many different types of alcohol. All in all it was a great time! I loved the people I met and had a memorable experience.

Fun night drinking in Kyoto - It was a fun experience. Our guide Sayaka was awesome. Really friendly and got people involved in the experience easily. We went to some interesting izakaya and bars, and it is a great way to experience that scene with a small group.

You should do it - Taïga was great. He took us to places that I wouldn't have found on my own and may not have entered on my own even if I had found them. Everyone on the tour was really fun and Taiga did a great job at breaking the ice and fostering a fun atmosphere
