Fun day with Hiroko

We had a very fun and educational tour day with Hiroko. Her being local and knowledgeable of Kyoto history makes it worth. She planned the day so nicely and considerably to make sure we are all catered for. We are very happy and I think that people should definitely book tours with local tour guide because it makes a difference to the day without wasting time navigating new area. Hiroko delivered 5 stars service. We recommend her to anyone. Arigato gozaimasu Hiroko san.

Amazing tour and incredible tour guide!

I had the pleasure of spending two days touring with Yoshie and I could not have asked for a better experience while visiting Kyoto! Yoshie was extremely knowledgeable of all of the locations we visited, organized, and incredibly efficient with his planned tour. But, I think what impressed me most of all about Yoshie was how perceptive he was to my interests. He quickly identified that I enjoyed visiting the gardens of many of locations we visited and he altered the tour in real time to include more gardens. Yoshie and I also visited a couple of his favorite izakaya's. The food, drinks, and the friendly company are no doubt the highlights of my entire Japan trip. Thank you Yoshie for making my time in Kyoto so memorable! Best Regards Aaron

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.
