Reiko, our guide, was amazing! She met us at the Shinkansen platform and quickly got us on our way. Her extensive local knowledge was evident, and we saw some amazing sights. I highly recommend taking this tour with her. She took awesome care of us and we learned a ton about this amazing city. This is a very extensive walking tour, so make sure you have comfortable shoes.

Great guide. Great tour, great location

Stephen_H, Sept 2023

Upon meeting Rika at our hotel we were warmly welcomed and asked what we would like to do as she was flexible and willing to cater to our interests(much appreciated!) We decided to head to Yasaka shrine, Yasaka kóshin-dò & Kiyomizu temple via the lively streets of Kyoto. During the journey Rika would inform us of great places to eat, cultural significances of the surrounding areas and the history of the temples. She also made sure to take many photos of us during the journey which she then promptly air dropped to us at the end of the tour. It was great to be able to explore with a local guide who was friendly, well informed and quite the great photographer. If anyone is thinking of booking a local guide to explore the Kyoto region I would highly recommend Rika.

Perfect tour for a quick day trip to Kyoto from Tokyo on the Shinkansen! Rika was our guide and she was amazing.

Our guide was fantastic. He was very kind and answered all of our questions. He took us to several beautiful temples and had a wealth of knowledge about each of them.

Very nice and informative tour of old Kyoto. The food market was very interesting too. A bit of a shame the tour doesn’t include transfers as the price is quite hefty. Philip was lovely and gave us quite a good insight into Japanese life and culture.

Great guide and very...

Stunning city

Tina_F, May 2023

A truly fascinating city , so much to see and do that you need a guide to help you . This tour was very enlightening and introduced us to lots of unbelievable sights in an incredible city. Walking is the best way to see it all and having an English speaking guide is a must
