    This was a nice, low impact tour. Our guide spoke very good English and had accurate historical knowledge of the sites and myths. He quickly calibrated the tour to account for a family members capabilities and made extra effort to ensure our tour was extra pleasant.

Fantastic! Everything was Fantastic including sights and lunch. This tour is a must do.

    Great Tour to get the Essence of Kyoto
    Aleke_K, Dec 2022
    This tour is an absolute must for first timers to Kyoto. It provided great insight on the essential places to see. Our tour guide (Fukumoto) was very flexible and allowed us to change the planned itinerary due to certain places being closed or already visited. She explained the history very well and the visited sites were quite amazing with fall colors. I would recommend this tour to get an essence of Kyoto as a whole.
