Overview
When the lanterns flicker on, Kyoto shows its most beautiful side. On this small-group evening food tour, a local guide leads you off the tourist trail through the historic Gion district and the narrow alleys of Ponto-chō — past wooden townhouses, teahouses, and the Kamo River.
Along the way, you'll stop at two authentic izakaya — small local spots where mostly regulars go. Across 10+ tastings, you'll work your way through classic dishes like yakitori, seasonal specialties, and local flavors, paired with sake, beer, or soft drinks.
Your guide shares stories about Kyoto's food culture, the geisha traditions of Gion, and modern life in the city. Perfect for first-time visitors and food lovers alike — relaxed, fun, and delicious. Guide available in English, French, and German.
