Uncover the best of Nishiki Market the local Way

"We were with Ryuki for 2 tours - hidden gems and street food tour. He is absolutely delightful and took us to several shrines and temples. Related stories from past to present. And the food tour was great. We went to a stand up restaurant, with amazing fish, then off to a department store for deep fried goodness. He gave us ideas of places to visit for the rest of our time in Kyoto. "

"Ryuki was fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, accommodating and personable. He showed local eatery spots frequent by locals. The food tour was amazing! Ryuki made us forget about the rainy weather. Highly recommend 10/10! "

"We loved both yours with Gia!! Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Gia!!"

"Maha was such a great guide, she was so knowledgeable and fun to be with for this amazing Kyoto food experience, would highly recommend!"

"Tiro is a super friendly guide who is excited to customize the stops to the group’s tastes. We enjoyed discovering some new items while tasting great versions of old favorites. Highly recommended!"

"Ryuki was terrific. He was very friendly and outgoing and - like the best food tour guides - loves food. The places he took us were uniformly excellent. He also gave us restaurant recommendations for after the tour. I highly recommend Ryuki for food tours in Kyoto!"

"Ryoki's tour was great. He was a fun guy with plenty of local knowledge and history of Kyoto. Good mix of food and drinks and he was happy to change things around a bit for us. The weather was a bit wet so I think the covered market was especially crowded and humid, but Ryoki looked after us well."

"Meeting Ted was a highlight of our time in Kyoto. We spent 3 hours with Ted exploring Nishiki Market - he guided us through the very best places to eat, the history behind some of the long standing market stalls, which tourist traps to avoid, all whilst getting hands-on and experiencing all the unique foods to Japan. Ted was the most incredible host and his English is fantastic! It was super special to have Ted exclusively to ourselves on our own private tour. He answered all our questions and even suggested some great foodie spots for our time coming up in Osaka. Thank you, Ted, for making our time so special! "

"So Naoki was our first tour after arriving after a few hours earlier in Japan. So we had done the overnight flight and the Shinkansen from Tokio to Kyoto that same day. We were a little tired but Naoki managed to pull us through a full 3 hrs tour and we didn’t even notice time fly. So on the one hand side he is a super easy to get along with person - super level of English and very knowledgeable about Kyoto and very likeable - we really enjoyed his guidance. The guidance to the specialities of the Kyoto area were also super - we tried lots of fun stuff - more then just the wagyu we had koi and eel and pickled vegetables - just to name a few. So overall we can really just recommend Naoki and this tour. "
