Nick is extremely knowledgeable and funny. He showed us a wide variety of dishes. Many of which we hadn't heard of before, such as regional tea treats and octopus prepared in a special way. It was also great to see that he has such a great relationship with the vendors. We wish we could interact with local vendors in the same manner. His many years living in Japan definitely came through.

He was funny and integrated the kids into the conversation, he showed us very interesting food

John was a wonderful guide! We stopped by a beautiful shrine to begin our tour and he shared with us the history of the market. The history helped us understand the importance of this market. John was very helpful in introducing us to new foods and telling us what delicacies were not to be missed during the summer. We sampled the freshest fish and the buttery wagu beef. John was easy to talk to and was patient with all our questions. After the tour we all felt like we made a new friend in John. He made our visit to Kyoto very special.
