Traveler reviews
Hikaru was a great guide...
Hikaru was a great guide and took us to some great places to try a variety of foods and was great fun to spend the morning with.
A fantastic introduction to Kyoto
Hikato made this a great experience, he was so friendly and chatty. The tour is about three hours but it honestly doesn't drag and you are sat down for a good chunk halfway through that, the distance covered wasn't miles either, so if you already have sore feet it's not one that is going to really hurt. You get to try all sorts. Someone posted that you could do it all yourself, which technically is true, but the guide literally knows everything you are tasting and trying and makes it all come alive so much more.
Great Little Market Tour
Thanks Hikaru, great day! Really enjoyed your perspective and energy!
Great tour, highly recommend
Hikaru was an AMAZING tour guide! So knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the market and Japanese culture overall. The tour itself was fantastic too, loved all the food and the market was so cute with lots of local shops and eats.
Great experience with Nori.
We had an amazing tour through the Markets of Kyoto, and it was a very informative experience. Our tour guide Nori was excellent and we had a very pleasant time. I’d recommend to anybody interested in finding out more about Kyotos historic districts and shrines.
