5.00Ciel was a fantastic guide. She was able to stick to the tight schedule of the day and kept it fun and flowing. She was able to answer everyone’s questions which was very impressive given the size of the tour group. The tour was well planned and gave us a chance to see some of the most beautiful temples and shrines the Kyoto has. I was able to see some parts of Kyoto that I never would of been able to.
Would do again
