Eika was awesome and the food was fantastic
Eika is an excellent guide and brought out an incredible array of dishes at all our stops. The food was amazing and plentiful, we all felt like we got our money’s worth. Over 3 1-2 hours of tastiness.
We had a great experience on the Kyoto Foodie Night Tour. Our guide, Shun, was generous, genuine, and very knowledgeable about Kyoto and the food we tried. He also had a great sense of humor, which made the tour even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fun and memorable night, and I’d definitely recommend it.
Great! Very fun, funny, educational. He was great!
Our Kyoto food tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Japan! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned, and we had the opportunity to experience incredible local foods that we never would have discovered on our own. What made the tour truly exceptional was our guide, Chika. She was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about Kyoto's culture, history, and food scene. Chika shared fascinating stories about the neighborhoods we visited and explained the background behind each dish, making every stop much more meaningful. The variety of food was outstanding, and every location felt authentic and carefully selected. We left not only with full stomachs but also with a deeper appreciation for Kyoto and its culinary traditions. If you're visiting Kyoto and want an unforgettable food experience, I highly recommend this tour—and if you're lucky enough to have Chika as your guide, you're in for a real treat. Thank you, Chika, for an amazing evening and memories we'll never forget!
We booked the Kyoto Food Night Tour and had a great time! Our guide, Chikako, was knowledgeable, friendly, and a wonderful guide through town. She brought us to places we would have never found and had us trying all kinds of amazing foods and drinks. It’s a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone as a great introduction to the food scene in Kyoto!
