Kamo River tours

Had a great sunset tour with our guide, Logan, who is very informative about the Gion district and the history and happenings of a Geisha's life. No questions were left unanswered. Thoroughly enjoyed it, just wished it was warmer.

I had an amazing private tour. I was about 5 to 10 minutes late and thought I might have missed it, but Ben, the tour guide was still there waiting for me with a friendly smile. I also ended up being the only guest, which made it feel extra special. Ben shared a lot of interesting history along the way and kept things fun with his humor. The time flew by, and I honestly wished the tour was longer. He also gave me some great local and restaurant recommendations at the end. Super professional, friendly, and highly recommended.

José is a great guide, we booked the tour as our first activity in Kyoto, and Jose gave us spot-on recommendations that allowed us to avoid large crowds while still getting a good feel for both Kyoto's nightlife and cultural significance. We asked for a fast-faced tour and he had us covered so much ground. 10 out of 10 recommend.

The 4-hour Kyoto Historical Highlights Bike Tour was absolutely fantastic! Naru was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Kyoto’s history and culture. The bike ride was smooth and enjoyable, taking us through scenic streets, peaceful back alleys, and beautiful UNESCO Zen temples. Naru made the experience unforgettable by sharing fascinating stories and ensuring everyone in the group felt comfortable. The pace was perfect for exploring without feeling rushed, and the itinerary covered a wonderful mix of iconic landmarks and hidden gems. If you’re looking to experience Kyoto’s rich heritage in a fun and active way, this tour is a must. Thank you, Naru, for an amazing day!

Oulan was our guide. He is amazing with great knowledge, stories and much more. He make our tour a success with each step we make. He brings to our day amazing thoughts with his knowledge. Ask for he when you request the night tours.

We had a great time exploring the food and learning the history of Kyoto. Emi was a great guide - willing and able to flex to our requests! highly recommend this tour and Emi as a guide!

The morning Isonoya itinerary was quite tight. When we got to the cafe, it was crowded, so we couldn't leisurely enjoy the food and scenery. Feeding the seagulls from the boat was indeed quite interesting. I accidentally won a golden nugget and got bitten, but the feeling of being a seagull's nest was quite magical, like being close to nature. The afternoon Amanohashidate time was about 2 hours. Following the guide and taking the cable car, we probably had an hour left. The scenery on the mountain was magnificent, and there were many facilities to play with. It just so happened that it was the Emperor's birthday (or yesterday), and many stores were closed, so we couldn't find a place to eat (the remaining few were crowded). But there were still a few small stalls where you could buy snacks. The scenery of Chion-ji Temple is beautiful, and the paper umbrella votive tablets are also very beautiful. I really wanted to take them back. The tour guide was kind and enthusiastic, constantly emphasizing the characteristics of the attractions. I accidentally broke the handle of a cabinet on the bus, and he kindly said it was okay. I felt a little embarrassed. The itinerary was great and I would consider it again in the future and recommend it to others.

From the moment I saw their name, I knew this was the person for us. I had a feeling our Kyoto trip would be really fun, and it certainly was! They were incredibly kind and explained everything in great detail, which made our trip twice as enjoyable. Not only did they provide thorough explanations of each spot, but they also shared insights into Japanese culture and their own life experiences, which kept things very engaging. There aren't many tours that include Nara, so I compared many options, and this tour exceeded all expectations – 100,000,000,000,000% satisfied! :) After the tour, they even recommended a great restaurant near Namba and offered to make a reservation if possible. We asked for a yakiniku restaurant, and the first bite was pure bliss... it was the best meat I've ever had in my life. It was truly, incredibly delicious!!! They also told us to contact them anytime if we needed other restaurant recommendations or had any questions or difficulties during our trip. That made me feel very reassured, and it was a happy tour where I felt like I had met a wonderful person.
