Dreamy day! - This tour was the perfect mix of calm and curiosity. We didn’t expect to enjoy the sake part so much but our guide explained everything so clearly and made it super approachable even for beginners like us. The boat ride was dreamy gliding under the bridges with the trees swaying was like a movie scene. I especially loved the café at the end, it felt like we stepped back in time. We would do this again just for that vibe.

Lovely experience - we visited during the summer, and it didn’t disappoint! while it might be even more beautiful during cherry blossom season, TRUST ME it’s still a fantastic experience in the summer. our guide, Jasmine, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, especially when it came to the temples we visited. we also loved that the tour included a sake tasting it really added to the experience

This was a great half day... - This was a great half day trip to explore the Fushimi district! We met our guide using the train system and had a quick visit to a shrine. From there, we had a great visit to the sake distillery where we watched a documentary, visited the museum, and had a generous tasting of their sakes and finished our trip with an incredible boat ride along the canal. Would highly recommend this trip for a group looking to explore a more quiet neighborhood and learn about the history of distilling and the canals!! As one of the earliest groups on the tour, Katz was a great guide and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto!!
