Self guide tour learning...

Self guide tour learning as you take your own pace. Just make sure you download everything before you get to the shrine.

This is such a great way...

This is such a great way to experience Fushimi Inari. I went originally as part of a bigger tour of Nara & Kyoto. We had to rush through here and there was a large number of other tourists. I went back using this tour (cannot recommend enough doing it at night or very early) to avoid the crowd and be able to get some great pictures & videos without the mass of people.

Simple efficient. Effective. At your own pace

Very comprehensive app with good audio guides. You can move in your own schedule and see some hidden gems.

Great start in Kyoto

The tour with Maha was perfect to start our stay in Kyoto. First she asked about our belongings so the whole tour was adjusted to our needs. She showed us many places in the near areas and helped us a lot with planning the next day in Kyoto. It was a very nice tour with Maha. she answered all questions and provided lots of information and tips about Kyoto.
