We told our guide (Ceci) that we wanted to focus on things other than temples, shrines and castles. We particularly enjoyed the Gion DistrIct and the Philosopher’s Path. Ceci is very knowledgeable about Kyoto — history, environment and culture. She communicates well and has a great personality, making for a very enjoyable and enriching experience.
