Amazing sights with a wonderful guide! - I initially thought this private tour might be a bit pricey, but it was absolutely worth it! Our guide, who grew up locally, seemed to know everything about Kyoto, from its history and culture to hidden gems we would have never found on our own. The personalized experience and his incredible knowledge made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto!​

Great way to visit major attractions while avoiding crowds - I absolutely loved this early morning tour in Kyoto. What really stood out was the guide’s incredible hospitality and attention to detail. He made sure everything went smoothly and even adjusted the pace to suit everyone. On top of that, his knowledge of the temples and shrines, as well as Japanese culture, was amazing. It felt like we were being shown around by a friend who genuinely cared about making our experience special. This tour was such a highlight of our trip.

Recommended to walk Kyoto with a guide who is familiar with the city - I knew Kyoto is a popular tourist destination, but I had no idea it would be this crowded. However, thanks to our guide, who made full use of paths used only by locals, we were able to visit the sights efficiently.
