Kyoto Tour Reviews

Great tour of Kyoto during the summer heat!

Thanks for the great tour Yoshie! Yoshie took our group for the Golden route tour- he was very friendly and accommodating, as well as very knowledgeable of the areas we were touring. Yoshie also helped us to take some photos during the tour and showed us some interesting spots for photos. Yoshie took us to his recommended restaurant for lunch and Izakaya for dinner. Both times the food was delicious. Thank you to his wife for the origami cranes, they were beautifully made! Thank you again Yoshie, all the best for the future!

Family trip to the mountain Kurama

Awesome day spent with Micheal to Kurama Mountain, we really enjoyed the nature. It’s so beautiful. I have never seen any other mountain that very beautiful like Kurama. Highly strongly recommend to make a day in this place. Thank you for Michele to taking care of us and very experienced guide. Love it

Thanks you a Lot Ha

Nori completely elevated our Kyoto temple-shrine experience!

We loved our 1/2 day customized tour, visiting our three most desired Kyoto temples & shrines - Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera and Kinkakuji (Golden Pavillion). Nori was organized, patient, super knowledgable, funny and supremely elevated our experience should we have done it alone or in a big trouble group. My 13 YO was super engaged & we both considered our 4 hours with Nori a Kyoto highlight. Highly recommend!!

Thank you very much for leaving the comments. I appreciate it. It was a lot of fun going around those three places with you guys. Your son had quite a lot of questions and I think I was able to answer all? or most of them ( : I think all the lucky charms you two got will work! Have a wonderful rest of your trip! 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.
