Kyoto Imperial Palace & Nijo Castle Small Group Guided Walking Tour

Vincent was a great tour guide! Very informative, even gave personal recommendations and insights. Unfortunately the Imperial Palace was closed the date of my tour, but he still took us to this shrine with beautiful gardens. Highly recommend if you are in Kyoto.

Jasmine was a wonderful tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and made the tour very fun and interesting! Her English was excellent and I learned a lot and got some wonderful pictures. Highly recommend this tour for a great history lesson on the Shogun and Meji.

Super interesting tour with a super friendly local guide. Lucky to have small group to be able to make it more personal, and at the same time dynamic.

The guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable, he answered many questions and gave detailed explanation about many things. Really liked it and would definitely recommend to my friends.

Amazing experience. Our guide Yuko was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Highly recommended.

Vincent （tour guide）is amazing，he is French,but his Japanese accent and knowledge is awesome!

had a great time with Taku, who happens to be born and raised in Kyoto area too. So he is very knowledgeable about its history and culture. He took his time and explained every aspect of the situation, how Shogun has 20 wives and indoor toilet where water flows out….

Taku was a great and very knowledgeable guide. He is a Kyoto local and is clearly very passionate about the city and Japanese culture in general. He also has some great restaurant recommendations if you need them. Definitely choose Taku if you are looking for a Kyoto guide!

Jasmin was so polite and well spoken and had a good grasp of the knowledge about the castle. She organised our tickets for the entry and kept the group together efficiently. She explained the displays and answered our questions. She also took wonderful photos of us which added to our memories. She also helped us with some eatery recommendations and also pointed us to the correct train line. Tour is not strenuous and meeting point is right next to the Nijo Castle. It was a very pleasant experience with a great guide. Highly recommended!

Naoki@local_walk_japan (the guide) is professional, humble, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He have the patience to wait for the right moment to tell story. When possible he help me to take photo. Even guide me to the next destination. Worth every penny.
