We had a great guide- Masaya - who customized our tour to accommodate two families traveling with tweens and teens. He was very accommodating and flexible. Highlights included the monkey park, the bamboo forest, beautiful shrines and temples on the forest and mountains and a most special lunch he arranged. Excellent day in Kyoto
