Best way to experience Kyoto!
Yuta was absolutely sensational as our guide. This was a magnificent way to see Kyoto and learn about its unique history. Yuta was wealth of knowledge and modified the trip to meet our needs. The hidden shrine he took us to was magical and will be remembered as a highlight of our time in Japan!

Sean was a great guide! I chose the 1pm tour on what was probably the hottest day in Kyoto, but Sean took great care of us. He made sure we hit shade often, and had us stop to re-hydrate! We even biked up to this summit and had the most beautiful view of the city! Highly recommend!!

Lovely three hours hiking on a hot day
We loved our tour today. We were only five guests and Yuka, our guide. We entered the shrine from a different path, not from the main entrance so avoided crowd. We loved the route, the infos and the additional places we probably would not have found on our own.

Best experience & guide! Book it!
Eika ensured we had a great experience. We walked around different areas and tried lots of delicious food at places we never would have found on our own. Ninja Tours was recommended to us by friends and did not disappoint. I recommend taking a tour with them in each city on your first night there to get the lay of the land. We returned to one of the shops the next day for seconds. Also, eating with our guide was a great way to understand Japanese etiquette before our two week stay. (My eight-year-old son loved it too.)

The tour was amazing! I enjoyed our experience. Our guide explained the history of food and commerce in the area as we walk to our sites. The food was delicious. We stopped at a couple of stalls at the market to sample some food and then went to eat lunch at a beautiful local restaurant (This is not a food tour where you only go to food stands). Our guide was wonderful and had a great personality for this experience.

This was the best way to see Kyoto. Cici was a fantastic guide…knowledgeable and warm and funny. She was also careful to make sure we didn’t overheat in the hot, sticky weather. She met us at the hotel and we were off to see the beautiful sites of Kyoto. She also took us to hidden areas around Kyoto off the beaten path and not touristy. Highly recommend this tour and Cici as the guide. Five stars!!!
