What are people saying about Kyoto

Chris_S, Oct 2026

An excellent way to tour Kyoto's best sights

It's a full day with lots of short transfers between areas of Kyoto BUT you get exactly what it says on the tin! It was thoroughly enjoyable and having a private guide meant we could ask lots of questions and get to understand more about Japan. Our guide was Tammy who had excellent English and was happy to discuss many different aspects of the tour. Be prepared to jump on buses, into taxis and to board trains with the advantage that you spend more time at the destination and get to almost all of the major sights. But note that the client is required to pay the various fares (generally inexpensive, even taxis are cheap). Tammy was easy to find at the station for the start of the tour and we ended up in Gion which is a gentle walk back into the city centre. It was obvious that we had covered more in one day than most of the other tours, mainly because there was just 2 of us and our guide. We agreed that this was an excellent way to experience Kyoto.

From Kyoto / Osaka: Kyoto Must-see Spots & Nara Park One Day Tour

Yvonne_T, Oct 2026

Memorable Experience

It was a great tour despite the rain. My family enjoyed Nara Park the most, especially the deer and how they understood when we showed our empty hands to show we had no food. 😆 We also enjoyed the bamboo forest. Our tour guide, Clytie set up a WhatsApp chat with the group representatives, which made communication easy. During the journey, she shared historical and cultural information about the places we visited. Overall, it was a good trip and a memorable experience! 😊

Kyoto: Gion Food Tour 13 Dishes at 4 Eateries

Carolyn_D, Oct 2026

Amazing Gion Food Tour

We had such a wonderful experience on our food tour! Liz, our tour guide, was so sweet, knowledgeable, and very informative about the history of Gion and Japan. We learned so much while enjoying some amazing food along the way. We also met some wonderful people on the tour, including two lovely couples from Orange County, California—so funny to travel all the way to Japan and meet people from back home! Such a small world. It was such a fun and memorable experience and definitely a highlight of our time in Japan!

Great night out in Kyoto

1 Hour Geisha Show in Kyoto

Rick_S, Oct 2026

Perfect Tour to Understand the Geisha Culture

Was not sure about this tour but it turned out to be excellent and was just what we were looking for. The tour provided a short Geisha performance at a tea house and was so unique because the experience provided an opportunity to do a Q&A with the geisha to understand the geisha culture. Then we walked to nearby temple with the geisha to learn more about the culture and history. It was the perfect tour and the right length.

Hiroshima & Miyajima 1-Day Tour from Osaka, Kyoto or Hiroshima

Anett_B, Sep 2026

Impressive tour

It's an amazing tour! We got all including tour except for lunch. An agent met us at Osaka train station, very easy to find, accompanied us to the train and our full day guide Joe met us after exiting the train station in Hiroshima. The smart part of the trip was that we first went to Miyajima Island by ferry to see Torii ref gate in the water because later the water goes away and the gate will be on the sand. Unless you wanna go to restaurants and see night view, the gate shrine is definitely more impressive during the day. Lunch on the island is amazing because it's known for large pacific oysters and lots of clean restaurants and street food. We had over 2 hour free time to go around shop and eat. Later we went to Hiroshima for history

Kyoto Kiyomizu Tea Ceremony with Scenic Garden Views

Erin_M, Sep 2026

Beautiful Tea Ceremony in Kyoto

Tucked into a quiet courtyard on a busy Kyoto street, is this perfect tea room. It can be a bit hard to find, so leave a bit of extra time. It is 100% worth the effort to find it. This was such a worthwhile experience, first our host gave us an introduction to the history of the tea cermony and explained what would happen. Then we participated in a tea ceremony and finally we made our our matcha tea. It's just an hour long, but it was the perfect length of time and perfect calm moment in the middle of a busy day!

Hiroshima & Miyajima Tour From Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka

Anupam_K, Sep 2026

One of the absolute highlights of my 10-day Japan trip!

I had an incredible experience on the Hiroshima and Miyajima Island tour, and I can genuinely say it was arguably the best part of my entire 10-day trip around Japan. Everything was extremely well coordinated from start to finish, which made it so easy to simply enjoy the experience and take in these remarkable places without having to worry about the logistics. A very special mention and huge thank you has to go to our wonderful guide, Azusa or “Arizona, USA” as she jokingly called herself! 😂 She was absolutely brilliant throughout the day. Despite the stifling summer heat, she remained energetic, funny, engaging and incredibly helpful. Her communication was excellent, her explanations were very interesting, and she created such a friendly atmosphere for the entire group. What impressed me most were the little things that went beyond what you would normally expect from a tour guide. At the end of the day, Azusa even went out of her way to help change my ticket so I could catch an earlier train back to Kyoto. She certainly didn't have to do that, but she did and those small acts of kindness and genuine care are exactly what make a travel experience so memorable. Hiroshima and Miyajima themselves were unforgettable, but having such a well organised tour and such a fantastic guide made the experience even more special. Thank you, Azusa, and the entire team for one of my favourite memories from Japan. I would recommend this tour without hesitation. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
