A highlight on our trip - Great tour! Our guide was very nice and shared lots of interesting information. We learned a lot about Kyoto and the history of sake. We also had lots of fun exploring the area and singing Karaoke.

Taste of Kyoto - Our host Joshua was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Had a blast trying 3 different izakayas, where we had the opportunity to sample a number of local foods from Kyoto. A decent amount of walking, but well worth the journey.

Worth booking! - I was the only person on the tour but Nami still made it a great time. Good food, good drinks and Nami was very knowledgeable. We were very lucky and even saw Maiko on the tour!

Awesome bar hopping tour of local spots! - This was so much fun! Yukari was great and we were shown places we’d have never found on our own. Would 100% recommend this as a fun alternative to a normal tour of the same places everyone does. It was great!

Best tour in Kyoto - Saya was an incredible guide. Despite the cold, we had a fun jaunt through the city. The stimulating conversation kept us warm. We can’t recommend Magical Trip and Saya’s tour enough!
