Fantastic Local Experience in Kyoto
(tripadvisor)
2023-04-20
Our tour guide, Thomás, was fantastic and we were lucky enough to have him to ourselves for the evening for this experience. We visited 4 bars and restaurants, each of which had its own vibe. My husband, the more adventurous of the two of us, enjoyed all of the recommended foods and beverages. I, on the other hand, am not very adventurous and still had a great time. I had the best drink I have ever tasted at Bar Kingdom. The food establishment we went to was touted as rarely visited by tourists and we dined on local specialties from Kyoto. Thomás was friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks, food and the area in which we toured.

A small FYI for those booking this for the future...meeting at the Kyoto Kawaramachi Garden World Clock actually means to meet where there is currently a large map of the world embedded in the wall.
Very local

I’m a tour operator who works with Arigato Japan and was thrilled to partake in one of their tours on a business trip. Thomás, my guide, was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. We checked out very local places that would be difficult to find as a non resident. Thank you for a wonderful and delicious evening!
Hidden whisky gems

The guides took us to several unobtrusive bars with distinct atmospheres and wined and dined us with local specialty foods and liquors. We stayed on after the tour at a bar with a live jazz ensemble and excellent cocktails and Japanese whiskies. Also included was a guide to the different cultures of the large cities of Japan and the world of the geek (geisha). 5 stars
