Kyoto Unveiled: Exclusive Private Half-Day Tour with Expert Guide

We had a great, heart-warming experience with Yuka-san. We appreciated her flexibility and caring communication, and her recommendations for further activities. 😊

We had an amazing experience with Nabet as our tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions thoughtfully. From the beginning, he was on time, organized, and made sure to ask which locations we wanted to visit so he could tailor the tour to our interests since we were only in Kyoto for a day. Nabet was also very friendly, engaging, and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned so much throughout the tour thanks to his clear explanations and insights. Everything ran smoothly and right on schedule. He gave us the best recommendation for dinner after the tour as well. We highly recommend Nabet as he’s a fantastic guide who made our day truly memorable!

A lovely day with our guide showing us some interesting and unique sites of Kyoto. A mix of walking and trains to get the most out of our time together.

Great experience with Nori. Nori exceeded our expectations with his knowledge of Kyoto history and culture. Well paced tour, covered Imperial Palace, temples, shrines, Bamboo Grove and Arashiyama. Helpful with navigating rail system. Very worth while. Nori earns highest rating possible.

Mizu is so friendly and helpful! And with limited time in Kyoto, it was great to have her orientate us quickly to how transport worked in Kyoto, which was a bit different to Tokyo. We had a wonderful morning together at Nishiki market and Kinkakuji, it was great to hear stories about the store owners and their goods as we navigated the market. Mizu shared so much knowledge about the places we journeyed through, made our visit so much more interesting! Thank you so much Mizu!

Junko was very efficient, we had a great time the trip was amazing and we learned a lot, Junko has amazing english! 100% recomended

Junko was the best tour guide we’ve had so far in Japan! We only had one day of tour in kyoto, just 4 hours, and we got to see and learn so much in such little time! 10/10

Yoshi was a great tour guide and very friendly. He took us around the city and gave us wonderful information about the culture and history of Kyoto!

Great tour with Masa. We collaborated in advance on a smart itinerary that tried to minimize traffic and crowds. Masa was engaging, very funny, and extremely prepared with pictures and explanations of what we were seeing (eg history of Golden Temple). Highly recommended.

Thankyou Nabet for a very interesting tour. Your historical knowledge of Japan and its culture added extra benefits to our tour. We appreciated visiting a temple with less people to appreciate the significance of significance of the environment to enable us to ask many questions. Thank you for sharing our day in Kyoto.
