A great time seeing Kyoto's timeless treasures!

Fumi knows Kyoto like the back of her hand. She met me at my hotel; from there I relaxed into following her as we walked to each train and bus and taxi stop. Was a pleasure to have such easy communication between the two of us, like we were old friends from the past. I enjoyed her company and her desire to help me find the places and things I was looking for. Fumi is understanding and flexible. I am in total appreciation of skills as a guide and human being. Thank you Fumi. So glad to have met you.

Amazing tour for both English and Spanish speakers

I joined my wife’s Spanish speaking family and had a great time with Fumi. She would switch back and forth from Spanish to English so all of us could enjoy it! She was amazing! Thank you!

An Amazing Day in Kyoto!

Our group had such an outstanding time with Jasmine. She was extremely kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic during our time together. We began our tour with a visit to Hanami-koji Geisha Street where we had the good luck of seeing two maiko. Jasmine provided a very informative talk on the geisha and the tea houses in Kyoto. Later in the day we visited Yasaka Pagoda Tower, Kiyomizu Dera Temple and Yasaka Shrine. Jasmine did an wonderful job of pointing out the significance of each location. Along the way we stopped for several snacks, including the refreshing pickle on a stick, and a couple of shopping trips to purchase souvenirs unique to Kyoto. Jasmine's knowledge of and her pride in Kyoto made the tour one that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Jasmine!

Private Tours in Kyoto

Unlock the mysteries of Kyoto with a local tour guide! From temples in Gion to lush gardens in Arashiyama, discovering Kyoto’s global appeal is one click away.

Ready to cool off from the day’s heat and high activity? Book a tour to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a mesmerizing forest of towering bamboo stalks. While a popular destination, private tour guides can lead you off the beaten path to explore lesser-known trails and rest stops, allowing you and your travel team to escape the crowds and rest in the peaceful ambiance of the grove.

Beyond the visual appeal, your Kyoto tour guide can share stories about the significance of bamboo in Japanese culture overall, and help you gain appreciation for Arashiyama's natural beauty in a more intimate way.
