Tour Reviews
The tour was very educational. We started off souvenir shopping on our way to Kiyomizu Temple. After that we got some ice cream and walked to Yasaka Shrine. And ended the night at the Gion district. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend!
This tour was a very interesting and fun tour for me. Me and Mariana met in Kyoto’s very beautiful Yasaka shrine and followed this visit with a walk in the Gion district at where we run einto 3 different Geishas! We ended up eating sushi at a conveyer belt threads.
We learned a great deal in a few hours. We are very happy to meet Mariana.
The tour was great. We got to see some major highlights from our bucket list and really get a feel for the city. I definitely want to return and book another tour, perhaps in a different part of town. I recommend doing the 4 hours if you can so you can see more. But 3 hrs was perfect in the heat and we were able to stop for refreshments along the way
