Go was an amazing tour guide. He adjusted his pace to fit the group. He was very informative and friendly. The hike was a little more challenging then I thought but really enjoyed it!!

Satsuki was an amazing guide! We would highly recommend him and this hike. He guides you up and away from the masses of tourists where you get to quietly walk through the trees and small shrines. A super experience!

Very disappointed as this should be a great tour....if the guide had shown up! We have had many successful, informative and fun tours with Viator....all over the world, and this is the first one to fail to deliver. Perhaps better communication and visibility of guide (marked T-shirt or jacket) and better contact especially since we were travelling in a foreign country and neither of us can speak or read the native language.

This hidden route hike with Ko was terrific! He was great at explaining history and the mountain itself, and we got such a beautiful glimpse of Kyoto that felt non-touristy. It was just wonderful and the hike was breathtaking. There are lots of stairs, and they are steep, though. If you struggle physically, this would not be the tour for you.
