Informative and pleasant moment! - Very well constructed excursion, complete and precise explanations. We let ourselves be carried away for four hours. Our guide (milo) speaks English but he has systematically ensured our understanding. All with kindness and good humor. We are delighted!

Worth the early start - Honestly had a great time. With just one other visitor on the tour, we had his undivided attention from and honestly it was worth the early start as we got the shrine almost to ourselves! We got a lot of information from him and some super photos. A highlight of our time in Japan. Would definitely recommend.

A Great Way to See a Lot! - Kevin M is a very nice tour guide. The visits to the temples & shrines we're great but his local knowledge made all the difference. Many thanks for a great day out!

Great tour! - The tour was wonderful! It's pretty tough getting up at 5 in the morning on holiday, but it's truly amazing to see the 2 most visited places in Kyoto almost empty! Philippe was a great guide, he taught us lots of interesting things about the city and its history. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
