Awesome intro tour with Ayumi - An awesome Kyoto intro tour for first time visitors. We've learned about the history, visited beautiful locations and enjoyed the company of our tour guide Ayumi. We've got lots of local tips and insights into history and culture. Ayumi was awesome: fun, engaging and very knowledgeable. We've done 3 tours in Tokyo and this one with Ayumi in Kyoto was by far the best experience.

Excellent tour, easy to book. - Rina was our guide through the temple area. She was very knowledgeable on Japanese history and I learned quite a bit. She put the temples in context of the cultural history and power struggles of Japan. The tour was 3 hours and it flew by. We liked it so much we did a second tour with the same company. We booked online the same day.
