5.00What a great day it was! The whole tour was awesome and well organised. Indra is a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and exactly knew how to plan the day to maintain the schedule. He was friendly and took us to all of the places. He will also show you the photo spots and kindly take the pictures of you. Whatever you need, he will help you. Perfect if you want to have your afternoon free. Lovely tour and would definitely recommend!

5.00Very knowledgeable and friendly guide, covered all major sightseeing spots in Kyoto. The group was small and could ask a lot of questions, and the guide went out of his way to answer all of them and accommodate. Very experienced and knew exactly where to take us and what to watch out for. Felt like a private tour!
Wonderful memories to last a lifetime!

5.00This tour was great! We hit all the major sites in Kyoto we wanted to see, and still had an afternoon free, unlike the all day tours. Even better was our guide Indra. He was so pleasant, very informative, and a great storyteller. He even made sure everybody in the group was able to make it home safely at the end. But the best part about Indra, he is an amazing photographer! Thanks to him we will not only have wonderful memories to cherish, but beautiful photos to remember them by. Highly recommended tour.
