Traditional experience for foreign drinkers. - Yuumi was an amazing guide. She not only took us around to different Kyoto izakayas but also taught us about Japanese culture. We visited several shrines on our tour and she introduced us to the meaning and practices behind them. The izakayas we visited were great. Quaint and quiet but delicious. Allowing us to get to know our fellow tour members and enjoy a traditional Japanese drinking scene without being overwhelmed. Highly recommend.

Best Experience Ever - Had the best time and was able to meet some new people. It was fifteen of us so ended up being a great night as we all ended up going clubbing afterwards. Even made some new friends from this and shoutout to our amazing tour guide (Kanna).

10/10 pub crawl in Kyoto - This tour has great drinks, great spots, great bites, and a great tour guide (Moto is the best!). I’d recommend it to anyone looking to meet new people and explore Kyoto.

So much fun with so many new friends! - We had so much fun with Moto and all of our new friends from around the world!! My husband convinced me to book this experience at the last minute and it was the perfect addition to our Kyoto explorations. We visited three different places, first a small izakaya with traditional tables on the floor, then a sake brewery with some of the best sake we tasted during our time in Japan, and finally a whiskey bar where we could sample traditional Japanese whiskey (& other spirits for those of us who didn't like whiskey). Moto was very helpful throughout the whole night, as he handled all of the ordering and split the checks afterwards. He also stopped and showed us a few things on our walks, like a tiny shrine between buildings. As a couple traveling together, we enjoyed the chance to talk to more people, hear about their experiences so far & gather recommendations for the rest of our trips!

Kyoto at night - Thank you to our guide Sayaka! I came in solo but had a good time with the group. We went to some hidden spots and just enjoyed the company of sharing drinks in kyoto.

Overall great experience but can be improved - Our experience guide Yuumi was really sweet and fun and we had tasty food and drinks. However, the cost for third atop was really expensive, and that wasn’t as expected. It would be better if we can go to places which our also pocket friendly and amazing hidden gems
