Top Kyoto Day Trips - page 9

Our amazing tour guide Amy Sato was as wonderful as Kyoto. Very knowledgeable, kind and friendly! She showed us beautiful Temples, best rout of transportation and made sure we were safe in the sweltering heat. She is one of the best tour guides we have encountered. Highly recommended !

We had an amazing tour of Kyoto with Akiko. Our entire family really enjoyed the experience. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful throughout the entire day. She took us to so many incredible spots, and we were able to see much more of Kyoto than we ever thought possible in one day. We really appreciated how smoothly she guided us and how much we were able to experience without ever feeling rushed. Akiko also took lots of great pictures of our family along the way, which we really appreciated. She made everything easy, enjoyable, and memorable. We learned so much and had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto with her. We would absolutely recommend Akiko to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you for an amazing day and a great experience for our family!

The itinerary was well designed and covered many of the region’s iconic attractions, including Nara Park, Tōdai-ji Temple, Uji, and the breathtaking Fushimi Inari Shrine. The pace was excellent, with enough time to explore while still covering a lot in a single day. Our guide, Scarlett, truly made the experience outstanding. She was funny, energetic, and incredibly organized. She constantly kept everyone informed through WhatsApp with clear reminders about meeting times and locations, making the day completely stress-free. She was also pleasantly “obsessive” about keeping the group on schedule, which ensured we made the most of every stop without feeling rushed. Scarlett shared interesting historical and cultural insights throughout the tour, bringing each destination to life rather than simply pointing out landmarks. Her enthusiasm and professionalism kept the group engaged from start to finish. The transportation was comfortable, everything ran smoothly, and the organization was excellent.I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Kyoto, Nara, and Uji in a single day. If you’re lucky enough to have Scarlett as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience.

This was a great introduction to Kyoto! Den was a phenomenal tour guide who had very clear instructions and lots of great background about the sights. The tour ran smoothly with just the right amount of time at each location. It was a great introduction to the city!

Michi our guide was excellent! Great communication before the tour and laid out an entire day for us. Was very accommodating and understood when the heat got to us and needed to take a break. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great pieces of information about the beautiful city of Kyoto. Would highly recommend the tour and Michi!!

Extremely pleased with this tour. Amazing views of Amonohashidate and Ine village. Walking through the village built around beautifully carved bay felt like Interlaken of Japan. And our tour guide Rex was very helpful in explaining things to see, places to eat, rest which made a travel smooth even for first time solo travelers.

This was an amazing tour!! Yuta was our guide. His English is amazing and he is very well-informed about history. He took us to undiscovered, hidden spots that were a breath of fresh air in busy, touristy Kyoto. It was a really warm and we went to a stream in the mountains to cool off our feet. Riding the e-bikes was really fun too!

Great experience! The family that hosted the tea ceremony had a wealth of knowledge. They were also extremely kind and answered any questions we had about the ceremony. I have admit as a 5’10 woman I was worried about kimono options but they were very inclusive and had plenty. Also, the team did a great job styling my braids.
