  • Lot of great things to see

    Our guide was excellent, set a good pace, very knowledgeable. The range of sites we visited was great. The monkey park was not our favorite and the hike up was something on a hot day, but the views of Kyoto from there were worth it.

  • A nice way to explore Arashiyama

    Firstly, going to monkey park is a serious trek, and I do not blame our tour guide for leaving us there. Goodness. But I had a great time. Our guide's name was called Toru and he always had something to tell us about, even as we were moving between locations. He was very fun and friendly. During the trip he takes photos of the group, which you can download from a website at a later date. I really loved everything we did, and the pace of the walk was very relaxed.

  • So much more than the bamboo forest!

    We covered a lot of ground on this tour and visited some great spots I would have probably skipped if going on my own. The villa, for example, was unexpectedly captivating in terms of views and landscapes. The monkey park at the end is a favorite for many, though i saw more monkeys and had a better experience on a previous visit to Nagano. Our tour guide was British but has lived in Japan for nearly 20 yrs. We were able to a lot of questions about local practices.

  • Spectacular day with a spectacular tour guide
