This tour was awesome. A great blend of historical Japan information, along with some absolutely dynamite food. Chie, our guide, was an absolute delight. If I was a student, I would love to be in her history class. She showed us some amazing spots throughout Nishiki market and kept us entertained throughout.

Nishiki Market Food Tour
Jasmine was a great guide in the Nishiki Market. She took us to four different food vendors and encouraged us to stop whenever we wanted. She is friendly, warm, with perfect English. Highly recommend and go early, before the crowds gather.

Very fun tour & insightful guide
I really liked our tour guide. His name was Nico, I believe. He had a very pleasant disposition and was also a schoolteacher in Kyoto. He created a great experience & helped us appreciate the history, culture, people, & significance of what we were seeing & eating.

Great Tour learning about Food and History
Amy led us on a very enjoyable and informative stroll through Pontocho St and Nishiki Market explaining the architecture and historical origins of these areas of Kyoto. We ate a delicious variety of different foods and Amy provided samples of a number of delicious things that we would never have known about otherwise. It was also great to have a guide helping us communicate with the market stall owners to get explanations of their wares.

Food is to be experienced
Walking around Kyoto, getting to know good places to eat, experiencing food… is just one of the best ways to get to know a place, people and culture. Nishiki market, basement of Daimaru all offer a variety of food unimaginable!
