Very good - I really liked the tour, despite running, it's good to see the most we got in one day. Our guide was Jewell and she was very friendly and kind, in addition to taking great photos. Thanks for the walk!

The Best of Kyoto - On this 1-day tour you could see the main sights of Kyoto. Our departure was from Osaka and throughout the day we visited Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama. The city was very crowded but still with the tour was possible to see everything that was planned, we were a little late around. The Jewell guide was available, patiently explained everything, spoke English and always asked if we wanted to go to the bathroom, stop to buy something or if we wanted photos (she took great photos of us). Luckily that day, we were a group of only 6 people. The price of the entrance to the monuments was already included in the tour. Having a great day.

Day trip to Kyoto - We made the day trip to Kyoto starting from Osaka. Beautiful trip, it was worth it having little time to see the city. Very nice and attentive guide. I would definitely recommend it for those who want to see the highlights of Kyoto in a day.

Wonderful Kyoto tour - The tour covers all the major attractions in Kyoto and if like us if you get Kenjisan as your guide you would get to see a little more. The time given for each attraction was a bit less but we managed. Elderly tourist might struggle to keep up a bit though but Kenjisan was very considerate and even looked for places where we could rest. Kenjisan also took wonderful photos of us everywhere.

Breathtaking views - Yuki was great! He provided us with information at all stops and always offered to take pictures of us. If you only have enough time for 1 day in Kyoto, this tour is a must!
