Personal Tour of Kyoto - This was an amazing tour. Lei was an excellent tour guide showing us the different temples and explaining the history and culture. She was personable and attentive to our needs. She asked where we wanted to go if different than the itinerary. She wanted this to be our tour. Gao was our driver and he was excellent. This was our first time using Viator and we will continue to use them for traveling. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Lei and Gao!
