Top Kyoto Food Tours - page 4

Absolutely excellent experience. I learned more about sake than I ever expected. If you ever wanted to demystify sake and know what you’re ordering and how to pair it with different food, this is the activity for you. The guides were excellent - friendly and knowledgeable. And answered all the questions we had.

Kumi is so fun. We ended up being the only people in the tour at the timeslot and day but she made sure we had fun and had good insight on history and Kyoto. The three izakaya/bars were are all great especially the last one. Thanks again to Kumi, you are awesome.

After a little hiccup with cab driver dropping us at the wrong Family Mart, and our tour guide rescuing us, we got started. My friend and I were on our first trip to Japan, and booked this tour because it was recommended by another friend. This market is supposed to be fabulous and it is. But even better was our guide Yasuko. Having lived several years in Washington state, she's now in the Kyoto area and is of Japanese heritage. She definitely knows her stuff! We started out walking an area with suggestions for restaurants, learned local history, and then headed toward the market . What fun! As we were the only two on the tour, we could stop where we wanted and ask questions as needed. We tasted tofu skin, cuttle fish cakes, plum juice, seaweed soup, and more. The sake was a favorite. Yasuko also helped my friend find a reliable ATM. Thanks to Yasuko and Viator! Highly recommended.

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.

Chica was a wonderful guide through a night of eating in Kyoto. She provided great insight about each dish and gave awesome recommendations along the way. She even provided and extensive list of recommendations for other spots in town at the end of the tour. I’d 10/10 recommend.

This was a wonderful evening in Gion with our guide Hugo. Hugo is a very knowledgable and worldly guy. He gave us lots of information and perspectives on history and culture in both Gion and Kyoto specifically, and Japan in general. Then there was the food, lots of it, many varieties, very authentic and very delicious! He explained to us what we were eating and how it related to Japanese culture. There was also plenty of drink to go along with the food. Don’t pass this one up.

This was a wonderful tour. Most famous market in Kyoto. My guide was exceptional, Miku. She was so kind and enthusiastic. The foods and fish market and wagyu were amazing to see. The strawberries and fruits and all the beautiful foods. It was a celebration in a way of all the foods in Kyoto to watch the traditional food stalls. It was illuminating too with festive decor and trading beauty. Lots of action and felt like heart if Kyoto. We even had great snack and also stop at a cute little place for Wagyu beef. Best highlight of my trip to Kyoto. Did it my first day. It was outstanding! Do not miss.

I enjoyed the class. It was smooth and organized. It was a big class but they have a great teamwork. Explained everything and attentive to everyone. I learned something new. Delicious and healthy recipe. I can make it for sure at home and share it with family and friends.
