A great way to see most important states of Kyoto in a comfortable van without having to take metro or taxi . Tour guide was great. By the time we got to fushimi inari we were tired and it was very packed. Our guide was able to get us to an area which was empty and we took pictures if you want to really enjoy Hashimi and I got the way to the top. You won’t be able to do it on this day

Hassan, our guide was great. We only had 7 hours because of our cruise ship schedule but he ensured we saw the most famous sites in the city…. The Golden Shrine, streets of Gion, the bamboo forest, 1000 Tori gates and shrine and a few others. Hassan moved at our pace and shared his knowledge of each location. He was flexible with our schedule and got us to the bullet train on time. Definitely recommend

Our tour guide was Azat. He was wonderful, descriptive, and very helpful. He made our trip even more memorable. He showed us all the sites in detail and took pictures for us. Towards the end he also showed us places we could go on our own. We have one negative review and that is for the tour operator. The title of the trip says private tour with luxury vehicle and we were sent a tiny Honda with bad AC. This is something Viator and other travelers should take a note of as it points to unreliability.

Perfect way to see a lot of great Kyoto sites in one day. This was our only full day in Kyoto and we wanted to make the most of it. Leshan picked us up at our hotel and drove us all over Kyoto - to the really popular places and some that we hadn’t heard about but were fantastic. We never would’ve been able to see so much in one day without a tour. He was friendly and really knowledgeable about the places we visited.

SHA was really helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking this customizable tour. He made suggestions and guided us all throughout the tour. He was exceptionally patient with my kids. Most of the time the kids were talking loud or singing but he did not make us feel bad about it all. A must if you want a convenient way to explore Kyoto.
