Kyoto Private Tours

“Amazing experience!!”

Yuka was an outstanding guide in Kyoto! We had limited time, but thanks to her planning and knowledge, we were able to see all of the major highlights without ever feeling rushed. She was organized, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. Yuka shared fascinating insights about Kyoto’s history and culture, helped us navigate efficiently, and made sure we got the most out of every stop. She was also patient with our questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience

“A Perfect Day Exploring Kyoto’s Hidden Gems — Fumi is Incredible!”

We booked the private eight-hour Kyoto western treasures tour through Go With Guide and it was hands down one of the most memorable days of our entire trip. Our tour guide Fumi was absolutely exceptional — friendly, warm, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Kyoto. She made our group of six feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We paid for an extra hour and included the round-trip Sagano Romantic train ride. The itinerary itself was perfectly curated. We began at the enchanting Ōtagi Nenbutsu-ji, where the hundreds of whimsical stone statues were unlike anything we had ever seen. From there, we walked the historic Atago Kaidō to Jōjakkō-ji Temple, strolled through the magical Bamboo Grove, and visited the stunning Tenryū-ji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a wonderful lunch break, we explored the world-renowned rock garden at Ryōan-ji before finishing the day at the breathtaking Kinkaku-ji — the Golden Pavilion truly lived up to every expectation. What set this tour apart was Fumi. Her knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful and memorable. If you are planning a trip to Kyoto, this tour is an absolute must — and if Fumi is your guide, you are in for an extraordinary day. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. I'm so sorry your husband couldn't make it. It was a special tour, starting with Saga Romantique train and ending at Kinkaku-ji Temple, so I imagine you were a little tired. However, I'm so glad that we were able to share such a fun time together, experiencing the unique characteristics of each place. I hope we can meet again someday when you visit Kyoto.

“Absolutely wonderful guided tour!!!”

Yoshi was amazing. He took us to places that we never would have found before. We also got to ride every transit system which was a treat because we were too scared to venture on our own for fear of getting lost. He was knowledgeable and kind and even walked my daughter and I to our tea ceremony after the tour!

Hi Julia. Thank you so much for your nice comment on my tour in Kyoto. I also had a lot of fun, guiding and talking with you and your family. I can imagine that you and your daughter enjoyed your tea ceremony wearing kimono. I wish all of you good health and the very best of luck. Yoshie
