Fantastic day with Nagomi

5.00We had a fantastic day with Nagomi as our tour guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both enjoyable and easy to follow. Our favourite highlights were the Golden Temple (Kinkaku-ji Temple) and Fushimi Inari Taisha, both absolutely stunning and unforgettable. As Fushimi Inari is the final stop of the tour, I would recommend staying on afterward to explore a little more and then making your own way back to your accommodation. Overall, a wonderful tour and a great way to experience these iconic sites. Thanks so much Nagomi! 🌟
The Only Way To See Kyoto

5.00Sakara our tour guide was fantastic. She really took care of us throughout the day. Our driver -- Nishikawa-- was wonderful as well. Both of them brought such energy and excitement to the tour. The buffet lunch was well worth the purchase. Tons of food and great variety. Being able to see so much history of Kyoto in a single day was well worth the purchase price for the tour. This tour is definitely one to take but you need to be in good shape to walk each of the sites and get the full experience. Fitbit is at 18000 steps and counting ....
