Fushimi Inari Tour - Go was an amazing tour guide. He adjusted his pace to fit the group. He was very informative and friendly. The hike was a little more challenging then I thought but really enjoyed it!!

Satsuki was a great guide! - Satsuki was an amazing guide! We would highly recommend him and this hike. He guides you up and away from the masses of tourists where you get to quietly walk through the trees and small shrines. A super experience!

Personalized Experience - Fantastic experience. Definitely not something we could have done on our own. He showed paths away from the crowds which allowed us to grab some great pictures.

Great hike, especially on a rainy day! - Kenji offered a unique and very enjoyable experience at an otherwise oversubscribed touristic location. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtfully paced the hike so that it was accessible to all participants. Our rainy day hike included warming tea and snack, and followed by a delicious bowl of soba noodles.

ANAZING EXPERIENCE! - Our tour guide, Ko, was great. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and polite. His historical knowledge is impressive, enjoyable, and he welcomes challenging questions. The hidden hiking route was a pleasurable experience and concluded with a very nice lunch. Our tour was a small intimate group accompanied by a very nice family located from just outside London. We highly recommend this tour to all. Thank you for great experience, with an amazing tour guide.

An amazing experience. - This was an amazing tour from start to finish. Kenji explained everything in great detail which made the experience even better. My Wife and I learned so much about the Japanese way of life making the experience something only a local guide could have done. He showed us holy sites and trials that few if any tourists where on and then showed us amazing photo opportunities. Thanks for making our trip to Japan and Kyoto unforgettable.

The tour - Kenji was a fantastic tour guide friendly and kind he took us to many hiden places that not many tourists go and we manged to get all the way to the top where not many people actually make it. He was very informative he answered all our questions and taught us many new things. At the end we had the best thing of all, food witch was worth it after the long walk ...i highly recomend this tour

Best way to visit Fushimi-Inari-Taisha - Fushimi-Inari-Taisha is a must visit in Kyoto but as with all other places of interest, packed with other tourist. So I am so glad I booked my friends and I on this hike. Mr Yamashita Ko is a friendly, caring and attentive guide. After a while it feels like u are hanging out with a friend 😊. He is knowledgeable and answered all our queries. Thanx to him, we had such a wonderful experience at Fushimi instead of getting frustrated fighting with crowds. Highly recommend!!

Great way to see this iconic Kyoto site - Despite my friend and I being the only people booked for the tour to our great surprise it went ahead, so we had a private tour! It was a great way to see the many shines by approaching the top from behind and walking back down the main route and finishing with a soba noodle lunch. Overall it was a great morning and due to lack of tourist at the moment we got some great photos. My only complaint was that we have had much better soba noodles in other places.

NO Show.....guide was not at location at time promised - Very disappointed as this should be a great tour....if the guide had shown up! We have had many successful, informative and fun tours with Viator....all over the world, and this is the first one to fail to deliver. Perhaps better communication and visibility of guide (marked T-shirt or jacket) and better contact especially since we were travelling in a foreign country and neither of us can speak or read the native language.
