A Great Journey
Akira-san was amazing! He is incredibly patient and knowledgeable about Kyoto and the rich history of its temples.
Great day in Kyoto
We explored the temples and the bamboo forest with Akira. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely friendly guide. We learned so much about Japanese religion and the country’s feudal history. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you choose the option that includes lunch. Akira took us to a wonderful restaurant with breathtaking views, where we had the chance to try authentic Japanese specialties that, as tourists, we would never have known to order on our own. Thank you, Akira. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and may life always smile upon you! Stefano
An Unforgettable Kyoto Experience!
If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! Josh was an incredible tour guide who made the entire experience unforgettable. His knowledge, passion, and friendly personality brought every stop to life. The Kyoto Arashiyama Bamboo Forest & Hidden Garden Walking Tour was so well organised that it genuinely left us speechless. The highlight was finishing the tour at a traditional Japanese restaurant, where we experienced authentic Japanese dining the proper way. It was the perfect ending to an amazing day. I can't recommend this tour—and especially Josh—highly enough. A must-do if you're visiting Kyoto!
