Best night in Kyoto! - The experience was amazing! Masa was an absolutely incredible guide, the food and drinks were great and the group decided to end the night in a karaoke and Masa stayed with us until the end. To whoever is reading this: just press the book button, you won’t regret! :)

Monday drinks ? Sayaka has you covered - I had a great time exploring some of the Izakayas in Kyoto. Sayaka is very knowledgeable, fun and patient. She sweetly answered all my little qs. She also gave me some recommendations on lots of things to do, try and shop around Kyoto. Her energy is great and I really appreciate that the tour was not cancelled even tho I was the only one that booked it (granted it is Monday).

10/10 recommend! - I had a great time at this experience! Soma the host was so friendly and welcoming. I joined this tour as I was traveling solo, and in the tour I met many great people and tried a lot of local foods and drinks that I otherwise would not have known to try. I definitely recommend this tour!

Absolutely Worth It! Fun! - Tiaga was a great guide! He provided context and insight into Japanese Izakaya culture. He brought us to some great places and tried hard to make sure everyone was getting what they were looking for in terms of drinks and food. He made it so easy, clearly a very smart and very knowledgeable guy; not just about Kyoto but also in a worldly sense. He was also very funny. I had a lot of fun on this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants a fun and informative tour.

Fun night in Kyoto - This was a fantastic night tour around Kyoto izakayas. Our tour leader was the delightful Sakaya who made the night so much more enjoyable with her humour. The small group concept means you get to interact easily with everyone in a short time and really have fun. Highly recommended.
