Great tour!

Published on May, 2025

Such a wonderful tour! We had Rina as a guide to this tour. I can't think of a better guide. Rina was amazing at entertaining us. We have learned so much about Japan within a day thanks to her! She gives a lot of exemple and anecdotes that makes the time pass by easily in the bus. I really would recomand this tour if you don't have a lot of days in Kyoto and you want to see and learn of it the most efficient way possible.

Wonderful temple Kyoto tour

Published on May, 2025

The trip was great! We visited wonderful places! Rina, our tour guide was super friendly and helpful! Thanks a Lot!!!!!!

A Must Do on your very first day in Kyoto!

Published on May, 2025

Soooo impressive! What a tour! Besides very obvious, like visiting incredibly spiritual places, gorgeous scenery, perfect picture-taking spots, we felt like we were immersed into a Japanese retro game, Shenmue!!! With the traditional architecture streets, little shops, street-food snacks, and delicious mucha ice cream, the only thing would have made it better, is if we would have extra time to explore on our own. This tour is fully packed with awesome activities, so every minute counts. But… after doing this tour, we knew exactly where to go and what to expect, so we came back to visit some of those sites in the following few days again! Our guide, Harry, was awesome! Helped us with some additional information we needed. Was easy going, very organized and very informative!!! Thank you Harry! The best tip I can give you, is… bring CASH!!! Temples and some small shops don’t accept cards or ApplePay!!!

Excellent Tour

Published on May, 2025

Rina our tour guide was very good and knowledgeable. Her personal anecdotes helped to enrich the experience and our knowledge of Japan. A full day tour that gives you the highlights of some great spots and makes you want to come back and see more.

Perfect Tour - Rina was an amazing guide

Published on May, 2025

The tour requires a lot of walking, but it is made easier with the wonderful guide we had - Rina. She explained about the sight in great detail, with some humar added. We went to 4 Temples and one Shrine - all amazing and historic. Rina also taught us about some nuances of Japanese culture and it's alphabets, all with a smile and making us laugh. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Rina as the gu.i The lunch was very nice, too. Make sure you select this option when booking.
