5-Hour Guided Walking Tour - Walk in Kyoto, Talk in English

My family had a wonderful time on this walking tour. Our guide, Yuri, was amazing. She was easy to understand, knowledgeable, organized and friendly. She shared lots of interesting information about the history and culture of Japan and the sights we visited. She also answered our follow up questions with patience and knowledge. (My family can ask a lot of questions.) The tour visits lots of interesting spots and the places are ones that we would definitely not have found on our own. The only downside is that the tour goes during lunch time and you do not stop for a meal. Yuri advised us of this and we all got snacks before starting the tour. When the tour ended we attempted to get lunch but many of the places we wanted to go to had stopped their lunch service by then. I highly recommend this tour!!!

Good walking tour through Kyoto. Tour guide was friendly and definitely took the time to explain additional questions I had during the tour. The time really flew. Also, the tour stopped at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a UNESCO site. It doesn't look that big at the front, but as you go through it into the shrine area, you can wander for a long time.

This was an off the beaten track tour. There were just 6 participants. The guide, Mia, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the area. As well as a Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple we visited a Japanese fan making business, a tofu business, pottery maker, community centre, sweet making business, and souvenir shops. It was well worth taking this tour. The downside was that after walking for 5 hours we finished up walking up a hill and were tired and not really interested in looking at souvenir shops. We then had to make our own way back to the starting point at Kyoto station.
