Kyoto once flourished as the capital of Japan for over a thousand years until Tokyo became the capital and the emperor moved there in 1868. There are plenty of places worth visiting such as Arashiyama, which used to be the aristocrats’ summer resort, magnificent temples with delicate gardens, the alleys where geisha girls in kimono stroll, and the celebrated shrine with a tunnel of a thousand vermillion torii gates.
We will show you the sights that represent Kyoto for a whole day.

Our guide Seiya was fantastic. He was informative beyond just the sights and he shared a great knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and society. Highly recommended!

Our guide Naoko was terrific. She shared so much information with us and showed us all of the best sights of Kyoto. I would definitely recommend this tour. It’s a great way to see all of the top sights in a short amount of time. It saved us lots of time trying to figure out how to get from place to place.

This tour was perfect to see the highlights of this amazing city. Our guide Hironori san was very knowledgeable and his personality made this trip very enjoyable. Kyoto is a city which has innumerable beautiful temples, shrines and other places of interest and needs a lot of time to cover everything. This tour really helped to highlight the major ones which gave the very good overview. Hiro san helped us to understand the best transportation mode to travel through the city. His exuberance and willingness to make our day special was palpable and we truly appreciated it. Although, it rained for a few hours during the tour, but we did not care as we were having so much fun. Hiro san also took us to an amazing restaurant where we ate the best udon. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Kyoto in a nutshell and doesn’t want to miss the main attractions.

Loved the city! Lot's of exciting things to see! I wish our tour guide was a little bit more interactive. It may be a language barrier but I wanted a story teller vs someone who only provided answers when asked

Kyoto has a lot of attractions (thousands of temples and hundreds of shrines) so you are faced with the problem of what to visit if you have limited time. It was great to see a one-day tour which would visit our musts in our Kyoto list: Fushimi Inari, the Golden Pavilion, Arashiyama bamboo grove, Ryoan Ji and Gion. We had a fantastic licensed guide, Noriko, who provided the needed context to the sites we visited. Her pacing was perfect. We covered all the stops in the itinerary and had fun experiencing public transportation (combination of subways, trams and taxi) in Kyoto. We would have wasted a lot of time going on our own and missed learning the interesting histories and backgrounds of the sites we visited. Thank you Noriko for an enjoyable and thorough tour!

We had a great day with Saori in Kyoto. She had a perfect itinerary pre planned. We were able to see all the significant locations we wanted to see. Saori was very well versed in local history and customs. She was the perfect guide to spend the day with. Thank you Saori!!

I love how we didn’t spend time trying to figure out how to get to the sites. Fuji took us to the most important places in Kyoto and gave us some facts and history about them!

We met our guide, Sunil, at 9 am at the JR Central Station and started our private tour of the bamboo forest, the Romani temple, the Golden Pavilion temple, walked the Gion District (Shiragawa Lane) and Fushimi Inari on a mildly wet cherry blossom filled spring day. It was really enjoyable, highly recommend this tour.
