Tour Important Information
Hello there! Some tips so we all have a great time.
We are going to be walking a lot, so make sure to bring conforable shoes and also be aware of the season, Japan has four of them (spring, summer, autumn and winter) and a rainy season just before summer, you should bring clothing appropiate to the season you are visiting Japan at. If you have any questions about the weather, is it hot? is it cold?, just let me know.
Oh, I know it is shocking but possibly you may have already noticed, there are no trash cans almost nowhere, so you may find interesting bringing a back pack.
This tour is a whole day tour, we will be visiting the most emblematic places in Kyoto and Nara so that you get a grasp of what Japan is really like. Is seeing everything and anything in Kyoto possible in one day? Nope if you want to enjoy it, so make sure to let me know if you are staying more than one day so I can personalize it the better for you.
Important message from the supplier
I have full availability.

About Tour Guide Jose david V.
Hello there! I am hoping you're having a great day!!
My name is Jose, born and raised in Spain (Barcelona) and I have been living in Japan for the last 10 years, first it was Hiroshima that I called home, for the past few years it has been Kyoto.
I have a wide knowledge of japanese culture, it's social life and it's manners, as well as the most impressive monuments, streets, parks and temples.
I love the city of Kyoto and all of the wonders it has to offer to the people whom decide to visit it, from the Fushimi Inari temple to the Nijo Castle. It is a surprising city with combines the best of modern day activities with the reminiscence of old Japan.
I would like to share my experience in Japan with you, so you have the greatest experience possible.

We had a wonderful guided tour in Osaka. Our guide was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and very familiar with the area. He took the time to personalize the tour based on our interests, which made the experience feel very special.
