5.00We had Nagomi for our tour guide and she was amazing. So cheerful and informative. I would do it over and over. She went above and beyond for us to enjoy the trip. I recommend this tour to anyone and everyone, it takes the stress out of finding where to go and what to see. It is perfectly laid out for a full day of sightseeing. We saw the highlights of Kyoto with extra knowledge about each stop. The only negative is that it’s over ! I never wanted it to end. 10/10 in my books!

5.00Family of 4 with two boys (ages 7, 10). Nagomi was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed her stories and she was very personable and friendly. The full day tour was a great way to explore Kyoto in a short period of time. The bus was very comfortable. The buffet lunch was excellent. Would recommend snacks and water as it is a long day. I felt like we had just enough to time to experience the sites without feeling too rushed.
Best way to see Kyoto!!
