Dinner and two drinks are included; guests must be at least thirteen. 4.65 from 478 reviews at €120 per person for 3h. In our comparison: #9 of 9 in Food & Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview You and no more than five others will explore the local foods and entertainment districts of Kyoto on a not-so-standard, all-inclusive walking and eating nighttime tour! You'll mingle with locals, eat regional specialties at two different standing bar restaurants (though we often sit down at one or both), and be given a visual feast of a primer on the various nightlife scenes in Kyoto, from geiko (a.k.a. "geisha") on down. With a native or equivalent English speaking guide at your side, you'll get a clear understanding of what the area is all about. And with some great food and a couple of (included) drinks in you, the merriment will be all the more! Our tours are very small group (6 or less), which means much more attention and quality for you. Local insight, great food, and good times await. For those interested in trying some Kobe beef, be sure to choose the option which includes 100g (about 3.5 oz.) of prime Kobe area beef. It's reasonably priced, too! ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet in front of Minamiza Theatre, - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 18:30: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €120 per person for the Standard tour (English) option; other options up to €200 - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.65/5 from 478 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Pinpoint Traveler, Inc - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English, French, Spanish - Start times: 18:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.65 from 478 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 91% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 433 of 478. - 5 stars: 391 (82%) - 4 stars: 42 (9%) - 3 stars: 20 (4%) - 2 stars: 15 (3%) - 1 star: 10 (2%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Standard tour (English) | €120 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Dinner and drinks: Food and one drink at each of our two restaurant stops, a dinner's worth in total. | | +100g of prime Kobe area beef | €143 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, French, English | Beefy upgrade: You get all the food and drink of the standard tour, plus 100g (about 3.5 oz.) of prime Kobe area beef! | | French Private Tour | €177 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, French, English | French Private Tour | | Spanish Private Tour | €177 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, French, English | Spanish Private Tour | | Spanish Tour w/ Kobe area beef | €200 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, French, English | Add succulent kobe area beef | | French Tour w/ Kobe area beef | €200 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, French, English | Add succulent kobe area beef | ## What's included - Alcoholic Beverages - Dinner - Two Alcoholic or Non-Alcoholic Beverages (one in each restaurant) ## Not included - Drinks beyond the two included.
