Very helpful tour! - We met with Akari in front of the Minamiza Theater. She was an excellent host and gave us a great tour of the area as we walked towards Nishiki Market. I highly recommend an earlier in the day tour as the street was less crowded and we had more chance to chat with Akari and learn about the different food on offer. FYI: food/drinks are not included in the price of the tour. But you can stop at any booth that peaks your interest and eat and enjoy. Akari helped us order our food. I'm really glad we got this tour or second day in Kyoto because we knew what to look for the rest of our stay. Akari even gave us recommendations for other places to eat in the area. Highly recommend!

Great experience!! - The guide was very kind and friendly! It was also nice to have explanations on how to use chopsticks. It was a very good tour that allowed us to experience the local food culture at a reasonable price :)

Definitely Recommend! - Marino was an incredible tour guide! She was friendly, informative, and had lovely, chill energy which made for a wonderful experience that didn't feel rushed, but also packed a lot in. We ate amazing food and felt like we experienced all that Nishiki Market had to offer. I would highly recommend this tour and I would ask for Marino. If I ever return to Kyoto, I would do this tour again. Even if you've been to Nishiki Market before, this would be a great experience!
