Excellent mixture of top quality ramen (two bowls!); insight into the world of ramen; and entertaining and engaging guide. The restaurants gave us the full ramen experince. The first was high end decor, open minimalist space combined with thick ramen soup (and my personal favourite, seasoned with Yuzu) then on more traditional soya-suce based ramen in a more traditional ramen restaurant that the locals would use. This was all wrapped up with the entertainment of a fun "ramen quiz" to start with and "ask any questions" approach to the trip!. Highly recommended

Our Kyoto Ramen Tour was amazing! We got a real taste of Kyoto's Ramen Scene and learned so much about the Ramen. The soups were super tasty and you get really full from the portion. Also the guide was super friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. We had a lot of fun also with the other participants. Highly recommend to anyone that visit Kyoto and loves Ramen.

Thanks to Frank, we found the perfect tour in Kyoto for our first visit. The ramen was amazing, by far the best we've ever had, and the whole experience felt like hanging out with friends. :) Our guide was super nice and gave us great tips for the rest of our trip. Can't wait to book a tour with them again next time in Tokyo!

We had an amazing time on this ramen tour! The theme of the tour was really fun as we were able to choose where to go like in a video game. We chose a shop that offered a more classic style and then a really fun shop which offered a half and half bowl of a reaally thick chicken ramen. That one was my personal favorite! :) We learned a lot from the guide and ate a lot too, of course - overall, 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto!!

This was definitely one of the highlights of my Kyoto trip, which I didn't expect! Kyoto ramen is a lot more diverse than I would have guessed and I got to try bowls that were unique and different from each other. The guide was also very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question I had. Overall, very interesting deep-dive into Kyoto ramen which I 100% recommend!
