Reviews: Kyoto Nishiki Market Tour
Guest User2025-10-30
Our tour guide Yoshiko was absolutely amazing! My wife and I did this tour during our honeymoon, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the moment we met our guide, they made us feel so welcome and comfortable, sharing not just information about the area, but also fun local stories and hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. The food throughout the tour was incredible — we tried so many delicious dishes, from mouthwatering sweets and desserts to savory bites like perfectly grilled chicken, rich and tender Wagyu beef, and all sorts of matcha treats that Kyoto is famous for. Every stop felt carefully chosen, offering something unique and authentic, and our guide’s enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. We also learned a lot about the culture and traditions behind each food, which gave every bite more meaning. The pacing of the tour was perfect — not rushed, but full of flavor and discovery. By the end, we felt like we had truly experienced the heart of the city through its food. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting — especially couples looking for a memorable experience together.★
