1-Full Day Private Experience of Kyoto for 1 Day Visitors
“Ahmed - hugely helpful in the face of a big mistake!”
I booked a 1-day Kyoto tour with Ahmed for TWELVE people about 3 months before our trip. Awhile later I changed our arrival date to Kyoto, but forgot to update Ahmed. The night before our scheduled tour, he sent me a message making sure we were set for "tomorrow" .. but we weren't scheduled to arrive until the following day! Long story short... Ahmed went to great lengths to solve the problem, rescheduling the driver and then standing-in himself for the original guide (who was unavailable a day later). Overall -- it was FANTASTIC that he was able to solve this with just a day of notice! we had a fun and interesting day with Ahmed, I would definitely recommend.

“An amazing day in Kyoto”
We spent a most enjoyable day in Kyoto with Yurico yesterday. Her knowledge was incredible and we truly took a step into the life of the Maiko and Geiko. The Temples and Shrines were fantastic. Yurico was friendly and informative, we would wholeheartedly recommend her tour. Thank you Yurico x

(42 reviews)Thank you for your quick and wonderful comment! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed Kyoto tour around Gion area and Maiko experience. I also had a great time with you and your husband. Kyoto has a long history and deep culture, so please come to Kyoto again. If you visit Kyoto in July, you'll enjoy gorgeous Gion Festival. Gion Festival is held during a month, but there are special days you can enjoy special events. Please refer to below's information. (The popular Yoiyama Festival is held from July 14th to 16th, followed by July 21st to 23rd, during which Komagata lanterns are lit and Gion music is played. The highlight of the festival is the Yamahoko Procession, which takes place on July 17th and July 24th, with the Yamahoko parading through the streets of Miyako.) Many thanks, Yuriko

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.
