We had a fantastic experience with our guide Yama, who was extremely knowledgeable about Kyoto. Not only did he take us to the spots included in the tour, but he also recommended various other must-see places. The Japanese restaurant he suggested was also delicious. Thanks to him, we had a fulfilling day!!

We were late but the tour guide waited for us patiently. Our guide is very nice and helping us throughout the tour. As we have been to some attractions already, he even suggested some nice alternatives for us to visit.

This is definitely the best private tour in Kyoto. Our guide Eric was friendly and informative. Throughout our day together he was attentive to our preferences making great suggestions. We went to Kyoto to have a experience of Sakura season. He recommended the best location to see the blossoms and we could see a lot of them!
