You and no more than five others will explore the local foods and entertainment districts of Kyoto on a not-so-standard, all-inclusive walking and eating nighttime tour! You'll mingle with locals, eat regional specialties at two different standing bar restaurants (though we often sit down at one or both), and be given a visual feast of a primer on the various nightlife scenes in Kyoto, from geiko (a.k.a. "geisha") on down. With a native or equivalent English speaking guide at your side, you'll get a clear understanding of what the area is all about. And with some great food and a couple of (included) drinks in you, the merriment will be all the more!
Our tours are very small group (6 or less), which means much more attention and quality for you. Local insight, great food, and good times await.
For those interested in trying some Kobe beef, be sure to choose the option which includes 100g (about 3.5 oz.) of prime Kobe area beef. It's reasonably priced, too!

Awesome way to get a quick overview of Kyoto Gion district. We learned about temples/shrines, geisha culture, kabuki theaters, and the small bars and restaurants in and around Gion. Highly recommended for the start of your Kyoto visit. We had Damien as our guide who was amazing.

The food at the last place was exceptional, and the drinks options were great too.
Didi was very knowledgeable about the history and culture and provided some advice on other sights to see.

We had a small, fun group. The rainy weather didn’t slow us down and we enjoyed the sites and the food. Bryan was clever and knowledgeable, keeping us engaged throughout.

We enjoyed wandering through the back streets of Gion and Pontocho areas that we wouldn’t have known to go to on our own.
We also enjoyed the food selected by our very personable guide Diogo.
We were a group of 6 adults

Our guide Andres was fantastic! He shared so many memorable facts, was very engaging, knowledgeable and funny, and took us to amazing, truly local spots that we would have never found ourselves. Absolutely delicious food and drinks (so many dishes, we left so full!) and great atmosphere. Amazing experience!

Maya was a wonderful guide whose appreciation of Japan and culture heightened our experience. The evening tour of the shrine was a bonus since most shrines and temples aren't open at night. Maya provided a lot of history about Gion, Geisha, Shinto, and food. The two restaurants we visited were excellent - both places we couldn't have found or ordered at on our own. Maya was very thoughtful about talking with everyone and catering to their level of interest and experience. The sake focused Izakaya was a special treat - we told the proprietor what we liked and he pulled sake from the case. Food was ample, varied, and delicious. Would highly recommend and already have!

As someone who doesn't have much experience with Japanese food, this was a nice, easy intro to trying things I would never have ordered on my own. I enjoyed the evening stroll around Gion and our guide, Bryan, was knowledgeable and funny.

Overall a fun experience. Felt a little rushed, but plenty to eat and drink. Also learned a lot of fun anecdotes about small details throughout the neighborhoods. Wish the tour guide had a few recommendations for nearby places the tour group could explore together post-tour.
