5.00We had an amazing private full-day tour in Kyoto with our driver! I loved being able to see so many sites in just one day. Starting early in the morning was a great decision since we were able to beat the crowds at the first few temples. Talha was wonderful—he guided us through some temples where we might have wasted extra time on our own, which allowed us to see even more. We also appreciated the balance of having time to wander some of the sites independently. Not having to worry about transportation between locations was such a relief, and honestly, we never would have been able to cover as much as we did in just one weekend without this tour. Highly recommend!
It was a great tour,...
