Great experience - This tour was a great way to get a sample of different dishes (and drinks) at a few different izakaya spots in Kyoto. Ataru was an awesome guide - very friendly and knowledgeable about everything, had great stories to tell, and helped give recommendations on things to try and each place. If you're trying to maker dinner plans in Kyoto, would definitely recommend this experience!
