    Thoroughly enjoyed my experience on this tour. It was a very small group and as such we were able to interact with one another and got to make new friends 😊. Our tour guide, Caleb, was great, he was very knowledgeable of the Japanese culture and made the tour very interesting.

  • The early start is well worth it.

    A great tour taking in some of Kyoto's more famous attractions. Our guide Vincent was fabulous, nothing was any trouble. The early start was well worth it, as the crowds were swarming in as we were leaving. A terrific tour which we both highly recommend.

    Nice composite tour program. However, we could have spent 10 more minutes in Fushimi Inara. Our guide Vincent and his companion Suki(?) were good tellers. It was almost 40 C, but we had good breaks and focused on staying in the shade at stops.
