Fun and educational delicious food tour! - Highly recommend the Kyoto night foodie tour!! Our guide Louis was fantastic; who showed us around the area, took us to several delicious restaurants, and gave us lots of food and shopping recommendations. We sampled so much delicious food that we have never tried before. Louis explained what was in each dish and how it was prepared. We learned so much! We also learned about Japan culture and Japan travel tips which will help us better experience the rest of our trip.

This is the food tour you want. - Eri and Moetka were fantastic tour guides. They took us to 3 great spots we would have never found otherwise. The tour group was kept small which made for great conversation. I highly recommend doing this tour and to do it early in your time in Kyoto.

Charming and fun - I am travelling alone i Japan for four weeks, and wanted a more social evening in Kyoto. The rest of my group had cancelled right before the start, but my guide, Mayu, was determined to do this even if I was the only one. And I was positive. In the end this proved to be better than my high expectations really. She was charming and easy to talk to as her english where excellent, and she knew a lot of fun and interesting things about the area. The final stop was the absolute highlight of the evening. And all in all this was really a perfect evening, and my best evening so far in Japan. Tusen takk, Mayu. Chriss/Norway

Disappointing foodie tour - The venue selected were poor and the quality of menus presented to us were not satisfying and disappointing. We expected some delicious Japanese food but the food were not great and barely edible. The tour guide was fine.
