“A Perfect Day Exploring Kyoto’s Hidden Gems — Fumi is Incredible!”

We booked the private eight-hour Kyoto western treasures tour through Go With Guide and it was hands down one of the most memorable days of our entire trip. Our tour guide Fumi was absolutely exceptional — friendly, warm, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Kyoto. She made our group of six feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We paid for an extra hour and included the round-trip Sagano Romantic train ride. The itinerary itself was perfectly curated. We began at the enchanting Ōtagi Nenbutsu-ji, where the hundreds of whimsical stone statues were unlike anything we had ever seen. From there, we walked the historic Atago Kaidō to Jōjakkō-ji Temple, strolled through the magical Bamboo Grove, and visited the stunning Tenryū-ji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a wonderful lunch break, we explored the world-renowned rock garden at Ryōan-ji before finishing the day at the breathtaking Kinkaku-ji — the Golden Pavilion truly lived up to every expectation. What set this tour apart was Fumi. Her knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful and memorable. If you are planning a trip to Kyoto, this tour is an absolute must — and if Fumi is your guide, you are in for an extraordinary day. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review. I'm so sorry your husband couldn't make it. It was a special tour, starting with Saga Romantique train and ending at Kinkaku-ji Temple, so I imagine you were a little tired. However, I'm so glad that we were able to share such a fun time together, experiencing the unique characteristics of each place. I hope we can meet again someday when you visit Kyoto.

“Very good tour”

Fumi gave us an excellent tour of the Kiyomizu temple, the Kinkaku-ji temple, the Bamboo Forest and The Tenryu-ji temple. She provided us with an interesting history and explained the significance of each site. She also found a good restaurant or lunch that met our dietary requirements. This was an excellent tour and we would definitely recommend Fumi.
