The itinerary for this tour includes some locations that are not accessible by a wheelchair or stroller.
Anyone over 20 years old can join this tour.
Food and drinks are not included in this tour. At each venue, your guide will recommend local Kyoto dishes, so we kindly ask that each guest order at least one food item and one drink at every stop.
Please bring cash for payment. We split the check at 1st & 2nd venues, and any amount under 100 yen will be rounded up for easier payment processing. The third bar operates on a cash-on-delivery basis.
Because most Japanese restaurants are not fully ready for providing vegetarian menus, limited choices of vegetarian foods in our tour is available.
This tour could possibly visit places where smoking is not prohibited. Please note that we may not be able to change the tour venues in this case.
You will not be able to join the tour, get a refund or reschedule if you are late for the tour and miss the group.
Please note that we are unable to guarantee allergy-free or cater to dietary restrictions as the food is prepared in kitchens that do not belong to MagicalTrip.
