Experience food tours in
Kyoto with Withlocals

"We had an amazing experience with Ted as our guide exploring the unique street food scene in Kyoto. His knowledge of the local cuisine and culture added so much depth to the tour. Ted was not only interesting and engaging but also incredibly patient, ensuring everyone in our group felt included and comfortable. His passion for Kyoto’s food and history truly shone through, making this a memorable experience. Highly recommend Ted for anyone looking to explore Kyoto in a fun, flavourful, and informative way! He has also been soo great at helping us find restaurants while we are here in the city."

"My family of ten with wide ranging tastes and age group had a great time learning about the best local food in Kyoto. We would not have been able to find and enjoy the experience without Eiji's guidance. He was extremely patient and kind with our requests. We had a great time and experience tasting all the interesting and delicious 'best of Kyoto' food! Highly recommended."

"We had a fantastic time with Eiji. The food on the tour was delicious. We went back to some of the places he showed us several times while in Kyoto. The food was so good. We will be recommending this tour to all of our friends!"

"Ted was an amazing guide. My husband and I had a great time going through the market with him and eating so many delicious foods. Thank you, Ted!"

"Spent a great afternoon exploring the Kyoto food market with Guia. The food and drinks were delicious. Her knowledge of all things Japan was top notch and I learnt a lot from Guia. A very enjoyable experience. Thank you Guia. "

"My husband, son and I had a wonderful day with Ted in Kyoto. My son is five years ago and Ted crafted the most amazing day together. Our favorite part of the day was food tasting in the market (while my son would say it was the impromptu stop at the Super Mario store for a quick toy). Ted was kind, knowledgable and easy to spend time with. We would highly, highly recommend! "

"Eiji made Kyoto magical for us. We did two tours with him and showed us the best of the city he loves. Not just the tourist spots but local areas where citizens hang out, local food and world heritage sites that no one visits! He is a special person and I wouldn’t do Tokyo with anyone else. Thank you once again Eiji. "

"Ted-san is awesome! He is very knowledgeable, kind, and fun. He was flexible and gave us many options for foods to try. He even let us get foods to bring back to our hotel to eat later because we were so full! Ted even gave us recommendations for other activities in and around Kyoto. He's a very kind man and I would highly recommend doing a food tour with him! "

"The tour was the perfect way of beginning a stay in Kyoto. Guía is incredibly knowledgeable about Kyoto and introduced us to the best of food. I also appreciate her flexibility in personalizing the tour given my walking limitations and our late start. Thank you, Guia for such a amazing welcome!"

"Guia was amazing and did a great job in introducing my wife, teenage son and me to the local area and food. Highly recommended. "
