“Wonderful foodie tour of Nishiki market in Kyoto”
We scheduled a late afternoon tour with Robert at Nishiki Market. Robert was well prepared, very professional, and charming. He has a beautiful understanding of the culture and history of the area, and educated us about traditions and specialities along the way way. Clearly he appreciates the beauty and unique culture of Japan and loves to share it with new visitors. We could have spent many hours in the market- he was able to point out many highlights. Arrive hungry for your tour!!

“Best tour in Kyoto we could have wished for!”
We were a group of four (my husband, my father, my step-mom and I) and had just arrived in Japan for our 3 week trip. It was our first day in Kyoto and we wanted to have a tour to get a good feeling of what the city has to offer. We asked Robert to focus on cultural and culinary musst-Sees. And what can I say: we got it! We had a lovely day with great insights into the city and it‘s rich and colourful sights. Since we are not the type of group who runs from one spot to another we matched perfectly with Robert who adjusted to us and our needs - have a break here, eat some new and unknown things there and maybe also just have a rest and enjoy the nature that surrounds us. So if you are looking for a guide who attends to your needs as a group and adjusts to it easily - go with Robert. We would recommend having a tour with him anytime, no doubts!
