Insightful Tour - Morning beats the crowds! - I did the Kyoto morning tour with Akari. Akari was extremely informative and a pleasure to have as our guide. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn some of Kyoto’s beautiful history and see the beautiful sights before the big crowds.

Excellent walking tour of must see Kyoto attractions - This was a great early morning small group (7 persons ) walking tour of Fushimi Inara Taisha Shine , Arahiyama Bomboo groove and the Kinkaku-ji “ Golden Temple - all three must see in Kyoto trip . The weather during the Sakura season was great. But I would rate the trip better than others because of the pleasing nature and knowledge of our guide Natsuski Yamamoto who was not hurried and took us all around these places at a casual pace and also efficiently through the bus & train network dropping us back at Kyoto Station . A big thank you to her !

Kyoto highlights - Great whistle stop tour taking local transport to the hotspots. Our guide Taira was super friendly and knowledgeable in the history of the sites we saw and overall Japanese culture. O would say it was just crowded because it’s blossom season but other than that had a great time! Taira also really went out of his way to recommend specifics to is all. Thanks again!!

Great tour, great guide - Great tour mostly thanks to timing and small group. Kota has been the perfect guide for us, answering all the questions, helping the team, with a lot of patience. His english level and accent are also well above the average. Definitely recommend the tour to avoid the crowd.

Great early start to see 3 amazing sites - Fabulous tour, 3 great sites, lovely tour guide, and getting between them was easy. Go as early as you can as they all get very busy as the day goes on.

Early morning walking tour of Kyoto - Natsuki our guide was wonderful and we were lucky enough to have her all to ourselves. Super friendly and so much fun to spend a few hours with her. It was great to turn our navigation brains off and be shown around some amazing sights without having to look at Google maps every 5 minutes 😀 Also great to get some local knowledge and history behind the sights we were visiting. Natsuki also gave us some great restaurant recommendations for the rest if our stay. Highly recommended.
