My husband and I had such a great time on this tour! The food was absolutely delicious — we tried a range of dishes, and loved every bite. What made it even better was the conversation. Our guide, Hero, was super friendly and gave us so many interesting insights into Kyoto, Japanese culture, and local life. It felt really relaxed, like spending an evening out with a local friend. We also loved that the guide took photos along the way, so we could just enjoy ourselves without worrying about snapping pictures. Now we have some great memories to look back on! We’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone wanting a fun, authentic night out in Kyoto.

This was a very good tour to understand the Gion district and the Gei-ko or Geisha community. Our guide brought us around various points of interest and explained the relevance of each one as well as providing a valuable insight into the history and purpose of the Geiko. She also guided us through the dinner and understanding of the two dances performed by the Maiko (trainee Gei-ko). What was special was the opportunity to ask the Maiko questions and hear her answers. Our guide did an excellent job of interpretation for us to make this happen. It was really valuable to meet the Maiko as a person and hear about her motivation and what is important for her. A very enjoyable and educational evening.

Fantastic tour! Hugo is an amazing guide, I would do a tour with him again for sure. Everyone in my group had a great time learning about the history of the less seen areas in Osaka. I do think there should be a disclaimer that this is an “adult only” tour. Did not impact us but I would not recommend bringing children on this tour.

The tour was the perfect start to my time in Japan (having landed in the morning after a long flight from Germany) 👍 It was a super fun and relaxed time, hitting up different food stands and the choice of the izakaya at the end was perfect. Plus learning about the area, hanamis and different types of Sakura as well as comparable blossoms. Shizuka was the perfect and most gracious, bubbly and down-to-earth host, and it was so much fun to get to know her in person after watching all of the videos. She gave great food recommendations and also encouraged us to be adventurous and try some not so common items. I overall just can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Sakura blossom in a lovely neighbourhood with small city vibes and having a great and fun time with the perfect guide 🌸🫶😊

It is a surprising, delightful, and once-in-a-lifetime tour. We absolutely would not have been able to dine at these exceptional Yatai without Bruce's superb guiding. Incredible atmosphere, even better bites. And Bruce made it all fun and easygoing. Probably the best food tour I've ever been on, and I've been on many! Thank you to Bruce for sharing this special part of the world with us.
