5.00The tour was very engaging and gave the perfect amount of time to see each spot and also have a bit of extra time to explore. At-chan was really kind and a really fun personality and felt really personable even with the large group size. You get to see a lot of cool sites all over Kyoto, but there definitely are a lot of people at each spot.
