Timeless Kyoto 😀 - We went on a day tour of Kyoto with a friend and it was a fantastic experience. The trip to Shinkansen was very comfortable and made the day even more special. Raffaele was really nice, very friendly and always available. He explained a lot about Japanese culture in a simple and interesting way. The tour was well organized and never boring. We absolutely recommend this experience to those who want to discover Kyoto in an authentic way. And quick thanks

A Full and Efficient Day Exploring Kyoto’s Highlights - This was a fast paced one day tour, but we were able to visit Kyoto’s main highlights very efficiently, which made it extremely satisfying. We enjoyed strolling around and trying local street food along the way. Personally, Kiyomizu-dera was absolutely breathtaking. Although we couldn’t see the autumn leaves this time, it made me want to come back again during the fall season. The guide also provided hotel pickup and drop off, which made the day feel very smooth and stress-free. We walked a lot throughout the day, but it was completely worth it and I was very happy with the experience.
