5Excellent Guide
We used a half dozen private guides on our trip to Japan at various ports. They were all good, but our guide in Kyoto was the best. A fountain of information, sweet, caring and flexible.
5Our favourite day in Japan
We had a fantastic time in Osaka & Kyoto with Marin. It was a full on day, but we managed to visit Arashiyama, Bamboo Forest, the Golden temple & Kyoto, including the old town & ‘no nails’ temple. Our favourite day in Japan by far. Definitely recommend this tour!
5Taking in the sites of Kyoto from Kobe cruise terminal
Malin was an excellent guide. She customized our tour to the places we wanted to see. She was able to navigate the trains that took us from place to place in a way that a tourist couldn’t do All of that with a most pleasant personality
5Kyoto
We saw it all. What an Incredible experience. Kyoto was fantastic. The best part was how sweat and knowledgeable our guide Marin was. We learned so much from her. I highly recommend this tour.
5Fantastic day!
Senji was a great guide, tailored our experience as requested. He was very helpful in locating a cash machine for us to withdrawal yen (we should have had some prior to the day!)
5This was an excellent day...

About Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.
The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
