what a great tour we had so much fun riding through the streets of Kyoto , our guide Benjamin was fantastic and took the time explaining things to us and for us to take photos . Stopped for lunch at a lovely restaurant. The places we stopped at were fantastic and everything that we wanted to see. Great day out

It was very comfortable. Only two stops a day, which we thought was just right – not too rushed, and plenty of time left over. 🙏 The guide spoke many languages, which was very impressive. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is my fourth time visiting Arashiyama, and my first time experiencing it in the rain. The Togetsukyo Bridge, the Bamboo Grove, and Nonomiya Shrine all have a unique charm when it's raining. It was my first visit to Tenryu-ji Temple, and there were photo opportunities everywhere. Kurumazaki Shrine and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine are also distinctive and well worth a visit.
