Quality Kyoto Food Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Yumi was a great tour guide. Having grown up in Kyoto, she not only knew the history of the city, she also made it accessible to a group new to Kyoto. The food locations created enough space to eat and drink without feeling hurried and it was a great introduction to the different types of restaurants in Kyoto cuisine. If you are looking to go to Kyoto this is a great way of getting a sense of the city and food scene before heading out and exploring on your own.

Fun night on the town

Published on Dec, 2024

Rika Yamagchui was a wonderful guide! Very friendly and welcoming. The food was great, bar was fun with the K pop music and the dessert tasty. It was nice to meet Geisha and invited to take a picture with. We have fun with new friends!

Rika was so fun to hang out with!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Rika was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable of area and cultural history. Such a fun time hanging out with her. Rica, if you’re ever in New Jersey, please call us. Would love to get dinner xoxo Alex and Pat

Great food, great guides

Published on Dec, 2024

Everything tasted delicious! We tried many new things that were very foreign to us but were definitely worth trying. Yumi and Matt were our guides and they were excellent at answering many questions and very personable.

Awesome food tour in Kyoto!

Published on Dec, 2024

Matt and Yumi were amazing! We visited three different spots. Between every spot they taught about Kyoto history. Overall, I highly recommend!
