Next, visit the magnificent artificial forest Parque de las Luces, or see the largest church in the city and a historic museum to return to.

Ai was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited. She showed us several temples and shrines and gave detailed background on each one. She even showed us one and we were the only people there. It felt very personal.

Ana Maria was my guide and she was amazing. She really understood what I liked and brought me to many places to experience local culture and iconic sights. She knew all the fun facts and history and I learned so much more than expected. The tour totally took the planning off my hands and I can fully enjoy the experience without figuring out directions. For a first time London visitor, this walking tour gave me a great run down of all the iconic sites and off the beaten path local scene. Highly recommended!

We could not have had a better guide as Ceci. She gave us a very complete and comprehensive all over Kyoto. It was a walking tour and we used taxi and public transportation to go to the attractions. I think that 8 hr tour gave us a very wide insight of the city. The best part of our tour was the pleasant companion of Ceci. Totally recommended.
