Early morning tour of Kyoto - An early start to beat the crowds was worth it and we visited Fushimi Inori Shrine, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Kinkaku-Ji (Golden Temple). Genki, our guide, spoke excellent English and he was both informative and helpful. 5 stars for the tour and 5 stars for Genki.

A Fun and Informative 1/2 day in Kyoto - This is scheduled very early in the morning to escape the crowds. It was crowded, so I cannot imagine how much more crowded these places would be later in the day. Everything went smoothly. Our guide, Genki, was super nice and considerate and readily shared information about himself with us. We were a group of 7 and he managed us very well, alerting us to restroom opportunities. He was well versed about the temples and shrines and made our trip more rewarding. His English was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. He also recommended other tours of interest to us and even went so far as to book the tours for us. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing guide in Kyoto - From the minute we met Chihiro we felt welcome and in good hands. Her knowledge, organisation and warm friendly manner made the trip so memorable. It was obvious that Chihiro enjoyed her guiding and was a brilliant photographer to capture our memories.

Highly recommended: a tour with the guide Rintaro - Rintaro was a very friendly and competent tour guide who could explain a lot about the meanings of the places visited, their historical backgrounds and the peculiarities of Shintoism and Buddhism. He was also very caring for the participants, always paying attention to their wishes and questions. A highly recommended tour guide.
