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.

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.

My friend and I met up with Mie early in the morning and we had a packed itinerary. We visited the sake museum, orange gates, 1,000 Buddhist statues, the "Big Stage," and Gion. We had our apprehensions as we dont speak a word of Japanese, and our American sense of humor is considered a "hit or miss." However, Mie instantly put us at ease with her fluent English, her charismatic personality, her sense of humor, and her overall positive energy.
She was well-versed in history and educated us, made us laugh, and kept us entertained throughout the six (6) plus hours we were with her. All while navigating us as if we were liquid, flowing through the dense crowds and other tourists as easy as breathing. She was also very professional, making sure we were comfortable.
We made pit stops before the longer treks, and I am sad to say our ONLY complaint was that we couldn't get her a slice of chocolate cake that day as a "thank you." We were able to feed our mutual coffee addiction, at least.
We had the most wonderful time and highly recommend her as your guide. Just be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes!
