  We booked this tour with Kieko, a very nice Japanese guide. She helped us book a taxi since we have children. She took us around beautiful temples and shrine, and Bamboo forest which is a must visit place though its crowded. Kieko was not just friendly, but also suggested a great local restaurant for lunch. Thank you Kieko

  This tour was wonderful. Ahmed arranged transport from Kobe to Kyoto, and we spent a lovely day exploring the bamboo forest, the Nomomiya-jinja shrine, Kinkakujicho, Nijo castle and the Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine, with time in between for a stroll through the food market. The tour touched on so many highlights, and Ahmed was able to share so much information.

• A foreigner run tour for foreign suckers - great guide though

  Less than 24 hours before our 8 hour tour, Ahmed offered a car for 100,000 JPY (a ripoff). I was not given guide contact information, and tour was 1.5 hours late to start. Our guide was fantastic! But dealing with Ahmed (tour operator) was terrible. Our guide was not aware of pick up location and that we did NOT have a car. This is the responsibility of Ahmed, the tour operator. He is the one who interfaced with me. When I asked for compensation consideration, Ahmed said he would get back to me, but never did. It has been a week later and still no response from Ahmed. The tour cost $503 USD; I would guess the guide made less than $100. I do not recommend using this operator for a Kyoto tour. I’ve added screen shots of my communication with Ahmed.

  Ahmed was a great guide- knowledgeable and considerate of our diverse (ages 3-70) family. We saw so much in one day!

  Incredible day in Kyoto with special thanks to Mike. He was a great guide that shared beautiful locations in Kyoto; even ones that weren’t packed with people. Our family especially enjoyed Mike’s way of not just sharing the history, but letting us experience it through a story! He was very helpful with all our requests. Thank you!

• Expensive and not up to par!

  I realized at the last moment that the visit did not include the vehicle as was the case for other destinations, so the agency offered me a vehicle at the last moment for an absolutely insane price, which was necessary. pay in cash to the driver who didn't even have a receipt to give. The entire visit cost almost 1000 euros, this is unacceptable! We had a guide who was not one, unpleasant, who knew nothing about Kyoto, who was only a French teacher who took a job as a guide to make ends meet I imagine but absolutely not interested in taking care of us, in adapting to our desires, and who had nothing to say. A real disappointment, fortunately offset by the beauty of the sites we visited in Kyoto.

  Excellent tour with Constantin. Very knowledgeable and kind. Made some fantastic memories with my kids. He even bought our kids some ice cream! Highly recommend to those traveling with families or young children.

• A busy day seeing some amazing sights, but be prepared to spend considerable time in traffic travelling between each one

  The Kinkakoji Golden Buddhist Temple on the lake was an amazing site with beautiful gardens and surrounding buildings. The Tori gates and Fuhsimi Inari shrine were also fantastic. The Arashiyama area and bamboo grove was ok, but very busy. The visit to the Gion area was a fascinating look into old Kyoto but was cut short due to traffic delays. The travelling between all areas was slow and impacted on the time we had to spend in the Gion area.
