Join the Early Bird Experience and beat the crowds!
We take you to the top sightseeing spots in Kyoto while the rest of the city is still waking up! Let us put each place in context and teach you more about local customs and history while we enjoy a beautiful morning together. See all the highlights of Kyoto comfortably with your knowledgable and friendly guide.
This experience is perfect for those who naturally rise in the early morning, or for those who just want to have a unique experience and don't mind getting up early for it. It can also be an amazing way to take advantage of your jet lag!
Along the way, we give you insights about Buddhism, Japanese garden design, history and more. We are also happy to help you with any questions you have about Kyoto or Japan and can even help you plan your days ahead. Beat the crowds on the Original Early Bird Tour of Kyoto.

We did two private tours in Kyoto with Kyoto Fun - both were fantastic! Kevin B. took us for a 6 hour tour in the west part of the city. He was a lot of fun and gave us great information. Two days later, we did the early bird tour with Shanda. This tour was about 3 hours long and she was an excellent guide, so full of knowledge about the beautiful shrines and temples we saw. Both guides were friendly and had a great rapport with our college age sons. We highly recommend them and the private tours - you get to see so much of the city!

Kevin gave us a great introduction to Kyoto. He showed us around the metro and took is to a lovely small restaurant for lunch which was delicious. He also followed up with an email with more suggestions of places and restaurants to visit and where to get good coffee! As a fellow European he understood our needs!!

Taking the Early Bird Tour was the best decision we made during our short stay in Kyoto. We went to the right place, at the right time, with the right guides.
The Kiyomizu Monastery, the Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the thousand-gate trail are must-sees. The early morning start avoids the crowds and the morning light enhances photos. Niall and his team delightfully conveyed the history, culture, and customs of Kyoto for us newbies. We finished the tour smarter and smiling!
We had so much fun that we booked the Nishiki Foodie Tour and Gion Night Walk (Geisha walking tour) too. Thank you Niall, Maya, Philipe, and Ai!

The bike tour of Kyoto was a superb choice! Niall's humorous and thoughtful explanation made for my daughter and I a memorable morning. My daughter said the bike tour was the most enjoyable part of the trip.
Niall would choose the route and pace according to our situation. He also offered to take photos for us to keep our memories. Thank you so much! I will recommend to my friends!

Absolutely first class, we have been on a lot of tours around the world and this is up there with the best. Niall was the pefect guide, friendly, knowlegable and understanding of our delicate condition (self inflicted). We went to places that we would have never have seen otherwise, incuding coffee shop and a fantastic local cafe for lunch.
If you do one thing when in Kyoto make sure it's the Kyoto Fun bike tour
thanks again Niall
