Kyoto Tour Reviews

Full day tour in Kyoto

Maricel is an excellent tour guide. She brought us to the most important sights in Kyoto (Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle, Bamboo Forest and the Gion District) and explained the local culture very well. She is also an excellent photographer and she took photos of us with her phone which she shared with us. We will cherish the memories and would highly recommend her as an excellent tour guide. We would love to have her again should we return to Kyoto.

One day in Kyoto

Shuji-san was the perfect guide for me and my father. We had just one full day in Kyoto, and managed to see and experience so much without feeling rushed. Shuji-san is calm, flexible, warm and knowledgeable. He reads the room well in terms of pace and giving you space to soak it all in. Highly recommend!

Private tour in Kyoto

Our guide Nori was both highly personable and knowledgeable. He created a great itinerary that balanced seeing as much as possible without it being exhausting. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Kyoto.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate it. Especially this time of year spending most of the day in Arashiyama was the best thing to do. I am really glad that you enjoyed the tour. Take care!

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.
