Kyoto Private Full Day Tour with English Speaking Driver
The day really is yours
Malik spoke perfect English, real nice guy. He took us to the areas most tourists go to and they were good areas, however, the open agenda didn't really hit me until the day was over. He was asking us how long we wanted to stay or how much time WE wanted. As a history buff I might have put in a palace in place of the bamboo forest. Again, had a great day, loved what I saw, but if you want to go in a more specific direction, your guide will probably be willing to work with you if you let them know.

Discover Kyoto by Bike: Authentic Half Day Tour
best way to see Kyoto!
We were so happy that we decided to book a bike tour. Kyoto isn’t like other big cities in Japan that rely on trains. Bikes are by far the easiest and fastest way to get around the city. Our guide, Jospeh designed a tour along the water, so most of the tour we biked along canals and rivers avoiding many busy streets. We feel like we really got the historical context of this beautiful city and local vibes. I can’t imagine taking in sites any other way. Highly recommend. Joseph was passionate and extremely knowledgeable. His curiosity of the world was infectious.
