Great Bamboo Forest and Temple Tour! - What a great tour! Malu was an incredible guide. The streets were filled with tourists but she kept good track of the group and was very knowledgeable about all the locations we visited. She was part sheep herder, part historian, and part photographer! She made sure we knew all about the areas visited along with offering to take photos so we had a memory of the experience. Highly recommend this tour. We were lucky to have Malu and you will be too!

Informative walking tour through a beautiful area - Arashiyama is a "must see" for anyone coming to Kyoto and this tour is a very easy way to see a lot of sights and highly informative. Our guide, Mehrab was fabulous, especially as the area was extremely crowded with a lot of large tour groups. If possible, visit in early morning to avoid these crowds. The Monkey park is great but there is a bit of a climb. Would highly recommend this activity.
