Tour of Kyoto - Yutaka yoshida was very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of things we would never have known about with the expertise of a long-time local. He was super polite, and it was well worth the money!!

Second time around just as good - This is the second time I’ve taken this tour and both times we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide on this trip, Hikaru, was very friendly and energetic and extremely helpful for navigating dietary restrictions. It was great talking to him and getting the perspective of a young person living in Japan in addition to his information about the market and the food we were trying. Highly recommend!

Great tour would totally recommend - The tour was great. A good mix of background information and the eagerly awaited food tests. We ate a Yuba Korokke, tried different Furikake, honey-based sweet drinks and some Sake. The guide Hikaru also showed me how to enter and pray at a Shinto shrine. The tour finished with a full lunch set of regional cuisine, which was very delicious.
