A day we will never forget!

I wish we could give 10 stars to Yoshie! What an incredible day. He was so warm and friendly and so knowledgeable. We learned so much and had such a great time! I cannot recommend Yoshie enough. If you don't see Kyoto with Yoshie then you're not really seeing Kyoto.

Hi Sandy. What a wonderful comment you gave me!! Thank you so much for your kind review for my tour in Kyoto. I really had a very pleasant time guiding and talking with you two. I hope you will continute a pleasant trip and return home safely. With best wishes. Yoshie

Deeply knowledgeable tour guide!

Yasu, retired professor and former UN consultant, provided us with a wonderful, customized tour of Kyoto. We specifically asked him to try to avoid shrines and temples that were super crowded. It was a tall order given how many tourists are in Kyoto these days. But Yasu did a fine job and provided us with many insights most tourists would never know. He also introduced us to a Kyoto style boiled tofu restaurant that exceeded our expectations—tasty! He shared his knowledge about the intricacies and interplays btw Buddhism and Shintoism in today’s Japan. We highly recommend Yasu as a guide.

Amazing, inspiring, relaxed pace

Michele was such a great guide! Knowledge of the area, not only did he guide us through the sites, he gave us tips for the rest of our stay. Great personality, spoke English well, was patient when we wanted to shop and really enhanced our experience in Kyoto. Great day!!

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.
