Kyoto Private Tour: Local's Secrets & Hidden Gems Revealed

We really enjoy the tour with Kiyoto. It was amazing to know everything about Kyoto city!! Highly recommended. Also he knows a lot of important facts in every location we visit.

We really enjoyed our tour with Mariko, she introduced us to the history and culture of the Gion district, Kyoto and Japan in a way which was interesting and engaging for the whole family. She provided us with some great local knowledge and recommendations

This tour was a great way to see some highlights of Kyoto. Our guide was Masaya. He’s a kind, knowledgeable and accommodating guide. We learned a lot and appreciate his time. Thank you.

We spent a half day in Kyoto with Amy, and she was wonderful. Our group was pretty big, with both kids and adults, and she handled everything smoothly. She explained the history in a way that kept everyone interested and picked a mix of well-known spots and quieter places we never would have found on our own. Amy also recommended a great restaurant for lunch and even helped us with the reservation, which made things so much easier. The whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend her, especially for families or larger groups.

Awesome experience with Afifa. My daughter and I enjoyed all of the beautiful and historic places. Afifa’s kind and warm personality made the experience especially enjoyable. She’s awesome! Thank you

Our day with Kiyoto was nothing short of OUTSTANDING. It was clear how much care and thought he put into creating a personalized experience. He guided us through Kyoto in a way that felt intimate and authentic, taking us to places we never would have discovered on our own. What stood out most was his deep connection to the city’s history and his eagerness to share it with us. It felt like we were uncovering Kyoto’s stories together. Before our visit, he reached out with thoughtful questions to understand our interests, and that preparation made the day feel perfectly tailored. He also made sure we captured every moment, helping us take wonderful photos and videos along the way. It was a truly special experience, and we’re so grateful for the time we spent with him. Kiyoto is such a good soul! Highly recommended.
