The tour was amazing....
The tour was amazing. Yoshiro was a really great guide giving us cultural information in all the places. He knew how to navigate the crowded markets. It was a great experience

Kyoto Private Car Tour – Full Day with Local Guide & Nara Option
Great day in Kyoto. The Fushimi Inari-taisha red gates and the Bamboo Forest fabulous .
We had a lovely day with Riku . He is a very polite young man. He took us to the 4 places we wanted to see and we learnt a lot about the places we visited but also the different culture of Japan. Fascinating . It's a long day and the traffic was busy but he handled it all very well.
