In order to closely feel the local atmosphere of Kyoto, this tour will use public transportation so that you can experience the everyday life of Kyoto locals, unlike other tour groups hastily hopping from one location to another on chartered buses. During the 7-hour tour, your guide will show you around the city covering four major must-see locations. There are two different courses: one northwest-bound and the other southeast-bound. If you participate in both tours, you can efficiently cover eight locations at a relaxing pace. For both courses, you can chose from private option, non-private option and non-private option with apprentice guide (reduced rate). Even if you chose non-private option, we guarantee that the total number of guests will be less than 9 people.

We loved this tour, our guide was amazing and gave us history of each place we visited. There is lots of walking but it was all manageable. We went on a rainier day and it was still amazing, especially the bamboo forest.

Chouka (sp?) Was a fantastic guide. She helped us with our Japanese, she taught us all about the areas we visited for both modern and ancient times. She was very well organized and was just a real pleasant guide. This is worth every penny. We highly regret not getting her contact info for future tours.
Tim and Alicia. :-)

My partner and I met out guide Chouka-san at the station and she took care of all the tickets needed along the way. She was an amazing guide, talented in English, with a great understanding of Japanese history for both its recent and distant past.
She emboldened us to try some new foods at the markets, found us a lovely spot for lunch, and helped us identify things which are unique to Kyoto - such as the guardians above the doors, inari sushi, etc.
She was able to answer all of our questions about the temples and shrines, explained the rites taking place and taught us a couple phrases of japanese that will help us along the rest of our trip. Such a lovely woman! I would highly recommend any tours with her as your guide. Suddenly Kyoto feels like home

Our Guide “Choc” was absolutely amazing . Brilliant English, professional , friendly and so informative - she was a perfect guide. It was a full packed tour, starting at our hotel and Choc brought us to the different locations in Kyoto. What we enjoyed about it is we didn’t feel like Tourists as we used every mode of local transport and had lunch in a local sushi restaurant. The sights we saw were fantastic eg Bamboo Forest , Golden Temple and Castle. Definitely recommend the tour and highly recommend Choc.

Mia was a great guide and host. A very informative and efficient tour of Kyoto. A good way to kick off our Kyoto experience. She was great with our 12 year old too and kept him engaged.

Phenomenal experience and we saw the major highlights. Our guide Mie was exceptional! She was extremely knowledgeable and humorous. We not only learned about the sites but also Japanese culture.
