Ideal Kyoto tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our Kyoto Early Morning tour with Taira. This was an ideal way to see Fushimi inari, the bamboo forest and the beautiful Kinkaku ji. Taira's tour was very informative. He answered all our questions and was very easygoing and polite and we enjoyed spending the morning with him. His navigation of the public transport system took the stress out of trying to find these places oueselves and the early morning start was also ideal for us. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Good if you're low on time but otherwise average. - This is a good way to get to all the sights if you're limited on time otherwise it felt a bit rushed and all could be easily accessible via public transportation. The bamboo forest was disappointing as we literally walked up a road and then down the same path and then got on the train for the next spot. It's in a very charming town and would have been nice to see it. Our guide was sweet but overwhelmed by the group size (8) and didn't provide much information on any of the sites.
