When the lanterns come on in Kyoto, the most beautiful time of the day begins. On this small group evening culinary tour, a local guide will take you off the beaten track through the historic Gion district and the narrow streets of Ponto-chō – past wooden houses, tea houses, and the Kamo River.

Along the way, you will stop at two authentic izakayas – small establishments that are otherwise frequented mainly by locals. With over 10 tastings, you'll sample typical dishes such as yakitori, seasonal specialities, and local flavours, accompanied by sake, beer, or soft drinks.

Your guide will tell you about Kyoto's food culture, the geisha tradition of Gion, and modern life in the city. Ideal for first-time visitors and foodies – relaxed, entertaining, and really delicious. Guide in English, French and German.
