Itinerary
The renowned bamboo forest with its subtle hues of green and the sun slanting through has an exceptional beauty. The rustling of the leaves and the creaking of the trunks softly swaying in the breeze have a very relaxing effect. It’s an experience that you shouldn't miss while being in Kyoto.
This famous Zen temple is an icon of Samurai culture. Although it is a very popular tourist destination, the unique sight of the Golden Pavilion is well worth a visit. You can get wonderful pictures of the gilded building and its beautiful appearance reflected in the pond.
The spectacular tunnel of thousands of vermillion torii gates is so famous and picturesque. These torii gates were offered by worshippers in appreciation of the good fortune they received from the deity enshrined here. Why don’t you, too, offer a prayer and change your luck?

Mitsue, our tour guide in Kyoto was fantastic! She was very welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history, culture, and hidden gems. With a perfect balance of calmness and insightful commentary, Mitsue brought the rich heritage of Kyoto to life. Her passion for the city was evident, and she took the time to personalise the experience, ensuring we got the most out of our visit and made our Kyoto tour unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Mitsue made your Kyoto experience special with her knowledge and warm hospitality. Your kind words mean a lot, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to see you again on another adventure!
It was a cold day in Kyoto with intermittent rains but our tour guide Noriko made it so much fun! It was only me and my husband so it was a very nice private tour for us. She was very sweet and knowledgeable and told us the history and significance of each location that we went to. We were able to keep on schedule with the trains and buses because Noriko was so organized, even when we had to do some pit stops for snacks and bathroom breaks. She took great pictures too! It was our first time in Japan and visiting Kyoto, and we wanted to do a short afternoon tour to show the highlights of Kyoto and everything was perfect! This tour is highly recommended and we’d love to visit Kyoto again soon! 😍
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review! We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed your tour with Noriko and the city of Kyoto so much. Hoping to be able to welcoming you back soon!
We arrived by train from Osaka and unfortunately bur had a few hours. Our expectations were far exceeded and our guide was very competent , friendly, helpful, just great!
Thank you for your kind words and positive review! It means a lot to us to know that you enjoyed your afternoon in Kyoto with your guide.
Yoshiko was the best guide! She was knowledgeable about the history of each of the three places we visited which were the Torii gates, the Golden Temple and the Bamboo Forest. We were able to see 3 of the places we had on our list all in one day. Yoshiko was especially helpful in helping us figure out which train to take the following day and helped us reserve our seats. We were so grateful for her kindness and assistance! Ask for her when you book this excellent tour!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! We are delighted that you got to know about the history of the places you visited and that Yoshiko was helpful in other ways too. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan!
The friendliness and knowledge of our guide Cheia, she was a wonderful guide and really enjoyed her company.
We're so grateful for your positive review and happy to know that you had an enjoyable tour.
We had a wonderful afternoon in Kyoto touring around with our tour guide Mitsue. She was very sweet, personable, knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of local insight about the sights, food, and transportation. We really appreciated the efficiency with which we were able to see all the sights given our quick stop over in Kyoto. We would highly recommend this tour!
We are so happy to know that you were able to get the most out of your time in Kyoto with Mitsue and learned some things about the city. Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review!
After some initial confusion about our train station meetup, we connected with our guide Keiko. The tour was very personalized and informative. We got so much more out of our visits to the landmarks than we would have on our own. “Kei” was warm, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
We are happy to know that you were able to enjoy the tour after having had some trouble meeting your guide. So sorry about that! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!
Really enjoyed this private half day tour with guide "Nick" alias Satoshi Nonake. He kept us informed via Whatsapp before the tour and was very organised with his timetable, catching of trains etc. Would have been a lot more dificult and time consuming on our own. He was friendly, engaging and took photos of us which he sent later. He also gave us thoughtful little gifts and importantly, didnt talk too much like some guides we have had before! Good value for money and thoroughly recommend.
We are very happy that you enjoyed your tour with Nick and got to see the sights in a short period of time. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!
Really enjoyed this half day tour with a very good guide called "Nick" alias Santoshi Nonaka. He kept us informed via Whatsapp about the tour days before the event and was very organised with his timetable, catching of trains etc. Would have been very difficult and time consuming to do on our own. He was friendly, engaging, took photos of us and didnt talk too much!! like I have found so many other guides to do. Well worth the cost and thoroughly recommended.
We had our tour on 7th January, our tour guide Saori San (English speaking guide) is really friendly, helpful & responsible throughout the tour . We are also very pleased with her extra mile attitude to show us beautiful photo spots. We recommend the tour with her !
Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We're happy to know that you had a good time with Saori and were able to take some nice pictures. All the best to you!
