I enjoyed hearing about each temples history and place in the community and the beliefs. The deserts and stops along the way at tea houses, mocho were a great experience. Walking the back streets I enjoyed very much.

Our guide Eiko did a wonderful job explaining enough ( but not too much) about the places we visited and helped us understand where to locate things in Kyoto Station. Our visit to Sanjusangen-do was amazing.

We don't like crowded places and our guide was excellent in guiding is to amazing sights and spots, where we only met 4 tourists on a tour of 5 hours!
