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 path through the historic Gion district and the narrow alleyways of Ponto-chō – past wooden houses, teahouses and the Kamo River.

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

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