Shijo-dori tours

Sui was nice and communicated well on WhatsApp. This is a good option if you do not want the hassle of commuting especially if you have a young kid or an elderly in the group just like what we had. they also provided a car seat for our toddler .

The trip was very fun, we've really this trip. Our tour guide Allen is an expect at teaching us the history of the each places we've visited. He imparted us with knowledge about each of the places and taught us some trivias about Japan. He made it very fun, he made funny jokes, taught us some trade-offs of activities, and recommended which food to try. He's very honest too when it comes to his commendations. Ofcourse, he taught us the proper manners when visting each places and how to properly act inside the temple.

Our tour guide Frederick great!! He kept everyone safe and explained everything to the greatest detail. The day went smoothly and he was considerate with our tour timing because of the blazing heat. Would recommend!! 👍👍👍

This is a must do when in Kyoto and have little time. My 70 year old mon and I joined tour. Majo and Tim were just fantastic! We saw 3 major, incredible Kyoto sites, received macha ice cream, tasted saki, and took several photos. My mom did the hike to Iwatayama mountain, bring good shoes, water. Luckily we had the best weather. Wouldn’t recommend in high, hot temperatures for children and elderly.

it was such an honor and a great experience. Definitely worth the money. We had fun as Ai was such an excellent guide. She provided nuances between Maiko and Geiko, correcting the preconceived notions given by the movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, and being an excellent entrepreter. Umemai-san, the maiko that performed for us, was very amazing. For someone so young to be able to perform for us with great confidence and answer all of our questions, she was just superb. Great job for GuideMe Japan Team for arranging this tour!

During the summer vacation, I took my child to Japan. There were many places I wanted to visit, but I knew transportation would be a challenge, and without a guide, I might not understand anything. I've never joined a tour group or a day trip in China before, so I decided to try this with an open mind, and it truly deserves a five-star rating! This package is excellent and very affordable (I really didn't expect it to be so good for such a low price). The tour guide is a very enthusiastic Chinese person who is a permanent resident in Japan. The bus was comfortable throughout the trip, and the guide shared a lot about the local customs and culture from his many years in Japan, which was very insightful. A big thank you to Tour Guide Wu Shifeng; he was excellent and very professional, with no hidden fees! We visited all the classic Kyoto landmarks in one day, and the pace was just right! Highly recommended! Everyone should definitely go for it!

Standing before the Great Buddha Hall of Todai-ji Temple, one feels incredibly small. Not physically small, but small in the scale of time. This, the world's largest wooden structure, has stood for over 1,200 years. Inside the hall, the Great Buddha, approximately fifteen meters tall, gazes down serenely, his eyes having weathered a thousand years of storms, now resting upon you. In that moment, all imaginings of "greatness" take on a tangible form. A day in Nara is not just about seeing deer; it's a conversation with the enduring legacy of the Tang Dynasty, a silent stand before history itself.

We had a great day exploring Kyoto with Michiko. she was a very kind lady and full of local information. She had a perfect itinerary scheduled and adapted it on the go to fit our needs. We would definitely recommend her and her services to anyone looking to explore Kyoto.
