National Museum of Ethnology tours

We had a great time on this one-day tour! Our guide Jacky was super friendly and really knowledgable. He made sure everything went smoothly the whole day, and his English is awesome, so communication was easy. He even went out of his way to take lots of photos for us — that was such a nice touch! The itinerary was well planned and not too rushed, making it a fun and relaxing way to see Kyoto. If you're looking for a solid day tour in Kyoto, definitely give this one a try!

Our tour guide, Leo "Little Lobster" 🦞, was incredibly kind and attentive. He contacted us via WeChat the night before, and since there were mostly Taiwanese tourists, he created a Line group on the day of the tour to remind us of the meeting time and recommend delicious restaurants in Arashiyama (like soba 🍜). The timing was perfect. We went to Katsuoji Temple in the morning when there were fewer people, which was great for taking photos. At noon, we strolled around Shirakawa-go, enjoying ice cream and milk. In the afternoon, Sanjo Street in Arashiyama was crowded, but we timed it just right to avoid the lunchtime rush, so we didn't have to wait in line at the restaurants 👍.

I had an amazing time on the Kyoto tour! Apple was a friendly and professional tour guide who took us to the exact area of each destination where we could take pictures or start our free activities. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour.

The tour guide was great and explained everything clearly. The driver has the potential to be a race car driver – excellent driving skills!

The whole trip was amazing! The sites we visited were peaceful and zen-like, which was very relaxing. It was a fun, slightly adventurous day with a good pace. Our tour guide, Jacky, was really great! He was friendly, cheerful, and explained things clearly and in detail, which gave us a deep understanding of the local culture and history at each site. His professionalism and enthusiasm added great value to the entire trip. The driver was also very commendable, with skilled driving skills, ensuring a safe and comfortable trip. Thanks to Jacky and the driver for their hard work, which made this trip particularly memorable!

The driver drove smoothly, and the tour guide accidentally cut in line to buy ice cream 😅. I really enjoyed this trip. The three attractions were quite far apart, so joining the tour was super convenient.

Apple is very friendly and welcoming. He speaks very good English. He gave us a lot of information during the trip. Highly recommend this tour guide. Thank you very much.

Jacky was amazing! He was very friendly and thoughtful throughout the trip. He provided us with lots of practical tips, interesting stories and historical background of the attractions, which made the trip more interesting. He also respected our pace and gave us appropriate rest time when we felt tired, which allowed us to enjoy a moment of peace in the busy schedule. I would 100% recommend this trip - it was informative but not rushed, and it was both in-depth and not stressful. Thank you Jacky for your professionalism and enthusiasm, and thank you to the coach driver for his hard work to make this day so memorable!
