Amazing Foodie Tour

Published on May, 2025

Rica was incredible! She did so much more for us than just provide an excellent foodie tour. The food was excellent, each location was special and unique, and we learned a ton about the culture and history of this beautiful city Kyoto! Highly recommend!

Kanpai!

Shun was a great host and wonderful to talk to and learn from about Kyoto and greater Japan. All three of the destinations were within the Gion district and had different and unique vibes from one another. Very enjoyable!

Don’t miss this !

My partner and I went on a foodie tour with Naru on our first night in Kyoto and it was 10/10! We visited bars and restaurants that only locals would know about, the food and drinks were delicious and Naru provided so much information about Kyoto.

Great night of eating traditional Japanese food and drinks

Published on May, 2025

We had a great night eating Japanese food and drinking Japanese drinks at venues that we would never have gone to. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave information on sites around the area and a history of Geisha’s. It was informative. We also met other people in our group and had a great night. I’d recommend the foodie tour.

Great night in Kyoto
