We spent an amazing day discovering Kyoto with Ciel, from Kiyomizu-dera to Fushimi Inari and beyond. She kept the whole day flowing effortlessly and made the experience feel unique. Ciel’s english was clear and natural, and her enthusiasm was contagious. She brought a fun, relaxed vibe while still sharing plenty of insights along the way. It easily stands out as one of the best tours I have taken. Highly recommended, thank you Ciel!

Nagomi-san was very knowledgeable and kind tour guide who spoke English well! The bus took us to many shrines and temples around the Kyoto area. I was able to get a lot of great pictures/videos and get a small souvenir. For any shrines which needed a ticket, Nagomi-san took care of it for us (cost included already). It was from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Today was the start of Golden Week, no naturally a lot of crowds but not as bad as it could be. I recommend it for anyone who doesn’t have a proper itinerary or bus routes to get to all of these shrines/temples.
A very interesting tour to visit beautiful places and learn about Japanese history.

On the bus headed back to Kyoto Station after a full day tour. It was great! Our guide Den was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We got to see a mix of Buddhist and Shinto shrines, and the included lunch was delicious. Would definitely recommend a tour with this company - and Den in particular!
