Excellent tour in Arashiyama - This was a great tour with Amy & Tara, who were very knowledgeable and made sure we all had a fun time! The Bamboo forest and matcha tasting were huge highlights :) The only downside was that the company provided an incorrect meeting point, as the meeting point wasn’t at Arashiyama station.

Great tour - Nay was our tour guide and he was outstanding. He took us to all of the sites and shared many interesting facts. Everyone in our tour was so thoroughly impressed with the information he shared and his enthusiasm for the culture. It is a fair amount of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Thanks again Nay for an amazing tour!
