Amazing tour - We had an amazing walking tour of Kyoto with Ben. He walked us all around Kyoto for 3 hrs and shared so many facts and stories about Kyoto's past and present. We felt we knew so much more about Kyoto as we planned to stay i the city another 2 days. We look back on this tour and we say it was the best thing we did at the beginning of our trip. Thanks Ben!

Amazing Value! - My tour guide Hiro went above & beyond to shield us from the super busy traffic in Nishiki Market! She was súper knowledgeable about the food, history and culture!! I’m so glad I booked this tour on my 2nd day in Kyoto! I’d do it again!
