Ginkakuji tours

pretty sure we were the only English speakers on the tour but it was still great. the stops are a little rushed but good locations to visit. BE ON TIME or you will be left. if the final stop is the Kyoto street temple that is uphill it might be worth while to make other arrangements to get home as there is a lot to see and not a lot of time.

Excellent experience to bike around local temples and world heritage spots around the Gion area. Miki our guide, adopted our itinerary based on our interest and limited time. It was nice to see some of sites before the 9 am rush of tourist. This e-bike is perfect for those who comfortable riding bikes in city traffic and some uphill climbs. We had a beautiful experience visiting the sites in the this part of Kyoto.

we highly recommended this tour with tour guide Mr. Asfand that is very punctual and kind and very accomodation and easy to communicate with him. we have a great Kyoto experience!

Sui was nice and communicated well on WhatsApp. This is a good option if you do not want the hassle of commuting especially if you have a young kid or an elderly in the group just like what we had. they also provided a car seat for our toddler .

The trip was very fun, we've really this trip. Our tour guide Allen is an expect at teaching us the history of the each places we've visited. He imparted us with knowledge about each of the places and taught us some trivias about Japan. He made it very fun, he made funny jokes, taught us some trade-offs of activities, and recommended which food to try. He's very honest too when it comes to his commendations. Ofcourse, he taught us the proper manners when visting each places and how to properly act inside the temple.

You need to exchange tickets at the departure point, which is a bit difficult for people who don't speak Japanese. The overall itinerary is good, the tour guide is also very enthusiastic, and he will take you to the attractions and then dismiss you. The bus you take has some introductions to famous attractions in Kyoto (there is a translator in the car), which is more friendly to people who come to Kyoto for the first time.

A bit confusing to find the location as the meet up spot is not inside the hotel but on the sidewalk near the hotel. Once we found our guide, we were off to see the major sites of Higashiyama. Minorii was a great guide that made sure that we all had a memorable experience. Thank you for the tour!

My driver Abad was very knowledgeable of the areas that we were going to. he was patient and waiting for us in each area that we visited Golden Temple, guion Temple, Arashiyama bamboo forest etc.
