    We had a good guided tour of Kyoto. Taking in some of the famous shrines and the Gion district. Our guide was very punctual at meeting us off the cruise ship and showing us around. He was very welcoming and tried explaining things to us. To make it 5* I would have liked to learn a little more history but I would absolutely recommend . We had a wonderful day
