I absolutely loved this tour. Having the freedom to pick the places I wanted to visit was such a nice change from the usual fixed itineraries. I chose to visit Kinkakuji, Nijo Castle, and the Philosopher’s Path. Also Katsuhiko my guide was super friendly and explained everything so well, making the experience even better. The fact that I could pick the start time was a big plus too, it felt like the whole tour was tailored just for me.
