Reviews
It is an in-depth tour worth taking. The tour guide is an old Japanese gentleman who is very familiar with Kyoto. He introduces every place or street carefully and learns a lot of cultural knowledge. The itinerary is very smooth. It is very rare to experience so many interactive experiences in just 5 hours. The food was delicious and everyone had a very pleasant tea experience. It is highly recommended to tourists who want to have an in-depth cultural tour.
