Highlight of Kyoto - Exceptional tour guided by Naheen and Belle, who shared their enthusiasm and great knowledge of the area and traditions. This was definitely a highlight of our trip especially the night views! Naheen and Belle pointed out amazing little details, and Belle even kept us safe when we encountered two large wild boar in the path! Couldn’t speak more highly of the tour, wonderful experience.
