5.00Nagomi was so splendid! My husband and I had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto on this tour. We wanted a hassle-free experience exploring Kyoto and this was an excellent avenue for doing so. We saw so much of Kyoto and truly feel like we got immersed in the city. The bus was comfortable, lunch was solid, and most importantly, our guide Nagomi was kind, informative, and maintained great energy during the long but exciting day. Highly recommend doing this tour when visiting Kyoto.

5.00Hiroko was one of the best guides we have ever had on a tour! She was polite, helpful, knowledgeable and exceptionally well organised. The tour was amazing and showed us all the key highlights of Kyoto with many fabulous photo opportunities. Highly recommend, but do be prepared for a fair bit of walking and steps…
