It was an average food tour - and I've taken many around the world. Decent but not outstanding. The guide did go over and beyond and remained with us for a longer duration than we expected.

What a great tour, we tried food we’d never have done on our own, plus the insights on culture and history brought the city alive. Great fun and Russ was always checking in with everyone. This a must do!

Spencer gave us a terrific tour of Kyoto food culture. We particularly appreciated the historical aspect--what was in vogue during different periods of Japanese history--and his ability to connect what we were eating to the culture and agriculture of that part of Japan. We also enjoyed learning about Japanese dining culture--not just the food, but the etiquette & the way it fit into Japanese life. & of course, the food itself was great and we were taken to off-the-beaten-path places that we would never have found ourselves.

We had Emma as our tour guide and she was fantastic! She was upbeat and fun! She took us to many delicious places and even helped me with my dietary needs. She also taught us about the history of the area and was able to answer all our questions. Would highly recommend this tour and Emma!

Favorite part was going to places that we never would’ve stopped otherwise. That, and having tables reserved for us so all proprietors were expecting us. No wait!

We hit several restaurants and bars and the guide was really helpful and even found vegetarian options (in fact the one soba place that we went to had great veggie options).
