No PhotoKyoto 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Julienne_U, Nov 2023
Great addition to trip, knowledgable guide
I strongly recommend you hire this tour company to add to your Kyoto excursions. We appreciated Tomy's flexibility and commitment to sharing the history behind each location of our tour (Arishayama Bamboo Forest and Tenryu-Ji), Nanzen-Ji, and Kinkakuji). My group had 2 with mobility issues and 1 toddler, and Tomy was professional and kind enough to ensure our safety during our commute between locations.
