Mayu was amazing! Food was amazing! - Mayu did an amazing job! She was very knowledgable about all the places we visited and little gems of information along the way. Loved how outgoing she was. The restaurants we tried were clean and the food was very delicious. We had a LOT of food. I really liked that the places weren’t too far apart and very accommodating for diet restrictions as well.

Amazing bar hopping experience in Kyoto - Mayu was amazing! She took us around town explaining a lot of super interesting and unique history facts. The bars we went to were excellent and Mayu went out of her way to make sure we had a great time.
My partner is vegan and the tour was great for her. Mayu did a great job double checking everything.
I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing drinking tour in Kyoto’s night life areas - Mayu was a fantastic tour guide! Each of the locations was delicious, and she was a great teacher and conversationalist. We ended at the most fun karaoke bar (my first time!) and even though I was embarrassed at first, it quickly became my favourite part of the night!!! Highly recommend this drinking tour. You’ll be belting out your favourite songs at karaoke before you know it.
