Kyoto at its best

Yuka M is a wonderful, she took me around the treasures from bamboo forests to fields of Iris temples so many magical moments she listens we had a wonderful time full of laughter. You won’t get a better Guide.

Thank you for taking us in-spite of not being too well.

Hiro San was a warm, patient and knowledgeable guide who took us to many significant sights in Kyoto. We truly appreciated that he still went ahead with the tour despite not feeling too well, rather than cancelling at the last minute. Because of this, however, the explanations at each site were very brief, usually only a few minutes on the religious and historical significance at each location before moving on. For most of the 8-hour tour, there was very little conversation or commentary from him, with much of his time spent in silence so we just spoke amongst ourselves. Nevertheless, we appreciated his effort and commitment in accompanying us throughout the day. Wish we could have caught him on a better day. Will definitely ask him to guide us if we go back to Kyoto again.

Excellent guide

Kaori she was friendly, knowledgeable and gave a personal touch with her stories. She arranged a driver for us who was reliable. We had an overall excellent day. I would highly recommend her.

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.
