Ran by @guidemejapan on instagram. Kyoto is one of the most famous spots to visit in Japan. Therefore, during the day, it is hard to see everything peacefully. In this tour, we start early to beat the crowds! We visit Fushimi-Inari Shrine, Kinkakuji, and Arashiyama.

Our tour guide Tomo was exceptional. He strategically planned our time to maximize our experience. His knowledge of the sites we visited was excellent and he shared historical stories with enthusiasm. Excellent communicator and very professional. He took some fabulous photos of us and set us up to take some great photos of our own. 5 star experience all around.

Haruka is an amazing tour guide. Not only her Emglish is superb, but her energy and kind personality made a big difference in our experience. She was quick to reply and help us prepare for the tour. We were able to see 3 important landmarks that are distant from each other, which we would not been able to do on our own in 5 hours. Book a tour with Haruka, and you will love Kyoto even more!

This early morning tour of Kyoto was well worth it avoid the crowds.
Our guide Ramu was delightful and her local knowledge was excellent
Ramu’s fluent English made it easy to learn about Kyoto.
She clearly explained the differences between Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples and their various religious rituals.
Ramu also happily answered all our many questions about daily life in Japan and also about local food.
Ramu took some great photos of us during this tour as a souvenir.
Her sweet nature and excellent local knowledge made this a most enjoyable morning.
We would highly recommend Ramu to any one wishing to tour Kyoto.

It was nice to start the tour early in the morning, it was not crazy crowded for that reason. They took us to three of the most important sites in Kyoto, the Shrines, the Golden Pavilion and the Bamboo Forest. We enjoyed it very much and the guide Kanjy was kind and patient, specially taking pictures, thank you :)

We found Tomohiro to be a great guide who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He struck a great balance between breaks, time management and moments to absorb the scenery.
He ensured to answer each of our questions and was eager to help out with recommendations for rest of our Kyoto and also Japan trip.
We highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to cover the key places in Kyoto.

This tour was excellent, taking in the Fushimi Inari Taisha, Golden temple (Kinkaku-ji) and the bamboo forest at Arashiyama. The early start meant that we beat the worst of the crowds and our guide was adept at navigating around each site. Vincent, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and answered all of our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour.
