The Ultimate Kyoto Tour:


Explore Kyoto’s top sights in just a few hours!

We’ll visit Kiyomizu-dera, walk through a bamboo grove at Kodaiji, see a 1,000-year-old shrine, enjoy local shopping, and end the tour with Japanese sake in Pontocho Alley — or swap it for a family-friendly option like a market, mall, or animal café.


Great for families, couples, and first-time visitors!

Reviews

Amazing day in Kyoto!

We had a fantastic day with Jasmine. She was absolutely brilliant with our two boys (aged 9 and 12) and gave us all a brilliant and insightful experience of Kyoto. Thank you Jasmine! We highly, highly recommend you to others!

Nishiki Market Food Guide + Gion Night Stroll

Our group of 5 adults & 2 children age 3 & 7 had an incredible tour with Jasmine. We started our private tour walking through Nishiki Market where Jasmine ordered 7 different local tastes for us to try at different stalls along the way. She made it easy by ordering for us, securing a place for us to sit and try each item despite the crowds, and she was knowledgeable about everything we tasted. We loved hearing her explanations about each item. And she even picked up extra treats and candies for the children. Although she had specific places for us to stop, she was also flexible with the interest of everyone in our group as she allowed for us to stop and shop or try other items along the way. She went at our pace while maintaining the structure of the tour. Next she took us to the Gion district and was so informative walking us along the streets past tea houses and giving us a lot of fun and interesting history and facts about Giesha and Meiko. We continued on the visit several local shrines and she made us feel comfortable, walking us through the process of visiting each shrine. My daughter especially loved participating in this as Jasmine guided her through the nuances of each shrine. Jasmine was very kind, patient, fun and informative. We would definitely recommend her to anyone traveling to the Kyoto area.

Awesome family tour with Jasmine

Jasmine was such a great guide. She remained flexible to our family of 5 and adapted the program to our wide variety of ages so we could all enjoy the time spent with her visiting the temples and streets of Kyoto. We learned so many things about Japan and Kyoto while having fun.
