    We had a great experience on this tour. Harry did a great job keeping everyone together and getting us to lunch before the big crowds got there. He made sure we got the pictures we wanted. I would recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see various shrines and temples in one day.

  • 1 Day in Kyoto? This is the Tour for You.

    I had one day in Kyoto and this tour checked all the boxes. Lunch was great. Hiroko was the GOAT. She knew her subject matter, she knew her history, and she was the best host. Going by bus--with all the details taken care of--made it easy.
