    The itinerary visited some of the most famous attractions in Kyoto and we enjoyed the buffet lunch. Our guide Nanami was excellent. She gave clear instructions at stops, gave interesting information during driving time, and was always looking out for her passengers. The nature of the packed itinerary is that the walking is fast paced and you might not be able to linger at a viewpoint as long as you might like. But this tour is an excellent way to see five top attractions in one day.

    Excellent experience for first-time visitors to Kyoto. Our guide, Sakura, was extremely knowledgeable and kept the tour punctual and well-organized. Having a private bus added a lot of convenience and saved us the hassle of transferring between public buses and trains. We were able to cover a wide range of sights efficiently while still enjoying all the key highlights.

  • Fabulous tour of Kyoto with Nanami.

    Sakura was an excellent guide. We saw many world heritage sites in a single day. The pace was good with lots of great photo opportunities with the sun in just the right place. Sakura kept us well informed and organised through a long day. Recommended.
