Family sightseeing in Kyoto on a hot summer day

We had a fantastic day with Kaz visiting some of Kyoto‘s most exciting sites like Kiyomizu Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine and Sanjusangendo Temple. Kaz was very knowledgeable about the sites and Kyoto history and made the tour an excellent experience for the whole family. My teenage daughters enjoyed hearing about contemporary Japanese culture along the way. It was a hot day and she allowed for plenty of refreshment stops and a tasty lunch. We also managed to sample some local specialties. To finish it all off at the end of the day she shared some tips about Gion and local restaurants with us. Altogether a brilliant day for the whole family. We highly recommend a tour in Kyoto with Kaz. Steffen, Anna, Amelia & Phoebe, London, UK

Five stars well deserved

Thanks Nori for guiding my son and I for the two half day tours of Kyoto in the extreme heat and humidity. Your knowledge and familiarity of the sites was invaluable and added greatly to our experience. Thanks for accommodating our wishes and helping with our souvenir shopping. You took the pressure off-lol. We definitely recommend your guiding services and wish you the best. Paul N.

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.
