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.

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.

We had such a great experience with our guide Vincent. Very knowledgeable and super helpful with local tips to add to our Kyoto trip. Unfortunate with weather on the day but still a great experience. Would definitely recommend this tour.
