Reviews
Our trip to Kyoto was fantastic. We had an excellent tour guide, Alejandro (Ale), who was very knowledgeable and kept the experience both interesting and fun. He made sure we all reached our destinations safely and enjoyed our time. The trip itself was a lot of fun albeit rushed, as we managed to see the entire city in just one day. We visited five different spots, spending about an hour to an hour and a half at each location. While having more time at each stop would have been nice, our day was quite full — starting at 7 a.m. and ending at 6 p.m. Overall, it was a packed but wonderful experience!
Fantastic tour from Amigo tours and our guide Paula. We would have never been able to cover all of these places in a single day without this tour. So I highly recommend this tour. Paula was very knowledgeable and was able to efficiently navigate a large group of 41 throughout the tour. I found that couple of the places were extremely crowded so that was the negative part in my experience. One recommendation: Please consider using audio devices for the large group. It makes listening to tour very easy. Overall a great tour with a fantastic guide in Paula. Highly recommended.
it was a day packed with short but the best parts of every tour. The sights visited were the must visit when in Kyoto! It was an all worthwhile trip! Thank you Hector for the wonderful highlights of Kyoto!
Alan and Hector were super amazing Tour Guides. They communicated well and organised the day and the group with precision and did not skip a beat. Their knowledge and expressive personalities made the long hit day bearable. To visit 5 iconic sites in one day is not easy and cannot be achieved by yourself. I totally recommend this duo who spoke both fluent English and Spanish. Well done guys and thank you for an awesome day.
Absolutely amazing tour of the best places to visit in Kyoto. It was a bilingual tour in English and Spanish with Alan and Hector. Alan's way of storytelling and his knowledge about the history of the places was incredible. The entrance fees were included and we skipped all long queues to express entrances. Thank you Alan for making this a memorable experience for us. We highly recommend this tour !
There's a reason this tour starts so early – it's packed with activities. It's perfect for tourists like us who are short on time but want to see as many of Kyoto's classic attractions as possible. It's a great value for the price and time. Of course, I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes if you choose this tour, as it's quite a long walk to complete all the routes on the itinerary. Our guide, Ivan, was lovely and very knowledgeable about Japanese history. He was dedicated to explaining the stories behind the attractions, and was even a bit humorous at times. Overall, very satisfied.
Amara-san and Pastor-san gave an awesome tour, definitely worth the experience. Be prepared to walk a lot but it’s definitely worth it.
Ivan and Helimar were excellent. It’s full packed day but so worth it. as you navigate through time and visit these places you get to learn history, culture and religions. loved it!
This tour is very well organized and Pastor/Paula our tour guides did an excellent service!
This tour packs a lot of experiences in one day. Our guide Pastor was fun and explained every activity in detail. We had a great day and recommend it to all!
