A tour to be remembered.... - Wow! Where do I start!? Hiro out tour guide made this while experience unforgettable. We were so fortunate to have a private tour by ourselves. Hiro was so friendly and welcoming. The tour around Fushimi - Inari was very enlightening and interesting. We learnt a lot about the history of the area, the shrines and the Shinto religion. The night tour was not too busy and we could stop and appreciate the many beautiful sights to see. Hiro even took our photo at the best spots. If you are planning a visit to Kyoto I would highly recommend this tour. It's not to be missed!

Super tour with knowledgeable & entertaining guide 💯 - Fushimi Inara doesn’t need much to improve on it, but our guide Vincent certainly managed. We took the 5pm tour, so the crowd was ebbing & we were a group of only 8, so we all enjoyed a leisurely & fun experience. Here are the highlights: ✅ Vincent was an excellent guide - he gave us all the historical info while making it entertaining. Excellent story-teller. ✅ We had enough time for photos & Vincent took us to the best spots to get the best shots of the red Tori gates without people ✅ Walking around in the dusk is magical, and we got to explore less crowded side walks with plenty of Spirited Away vibes ✅ Keep an eye out for the cats that populate some of the shrines ✅ Very well-organized & we were not hurried in any way. Plenty of time to ask questions, wander around some more etc. ❌ Only con I can think of is that I want to do it all again 🤣 We are not usually fans of organized tours as it can feel artificial or rushed, but didn’t regret taking this as it struck the right balance of info & fun at your own pace.

A funny, informative and aesthetic tour - We were a small group so it was automatically friendly and you couldn't be left out somehow. We got a beautiful view over Kyoto and a stunning walk through the Torii Gates.
