Memorable trip! Thank you! - We thoroughly enjoyed this full-day tour of Kyoto’s highlights. At Fushimi Inari Shrine, our guide Teri explained everything of Fushimi Inari while also leading us to less crowded areas where we could appreciate the gates in peace. Then we traveled to Arashiyama, where the Bamboos were absolutely breathtaking. She also gave us time for temple stamps, shopping, short break before continuing. The pacing was excellent, and Teri was attentive, fun and knowledgable. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Kyoto. Thanks Teri!

Amazing Kyoto tour! - This tour was amazing! We had a great time at this tour. Great balance of history, photo time, and breaks. The guide showed us hidden spots at Fushimi Inari and gave us options for the hike! She even took amazing pictures of us in the bamboo forest despite the crowd! Highly recommended!

Surreal - We had the best experience on this tour! Our guide Teri, was so knowledgeable and made the history of Fushimi Inari Shrine come alive explaining the meaning behind the thousands of torii gates and even showing us quiet paths away from the big crowds. In Arashiyama, we walked through the beautiful Bamboo Grove and visited hidden spots we would have never found on our own. We had free moments for photos, snacks, and even temple stamps. She was also very thoughtful about pacing, making sure everyone in the group was comfortable, from the more active walkers to those who needed short breaks. Highly recommended when visiting Kyoto!
