5.00This is an excellent tour to see the three main attractions in Kyoto. All three got very crowded so I would recommend taking the earliest tour available. Our guide was Asuka. She is very knowledgeable and took the time to get to know each guest and kept everyone engaged. This made the tour more fun and enjoyable.
Def recommend for solo travelers
