Arashiyama tours

My Kyoto and Nara tour with Cicy was fantastic! Kyoto’s temples, bamboo groves, and the Fushimi Inari Shrine were breathtaking, while Nara’s friendly deer and Todai-ji Temple left a lasting impression. Cicy was an amazing guide, sharing fascinating insights and making everything run smoothly. A memorable blend of culture and nature—highly recommended!

Went as a group of 11 English only speakers and had a great time. the guide facilitated us nicely by explaining extra bits to us in English while was in mandarin to the rest. Had a tonne of fun and the whole experience was great. The bus was also a lot shorter than I thought it would be, only like an hour to get to Kyoto and a little more to the train.

Our tour guide was extremely pleasant and helpful. The romantic train was a very pleasant ride to Sagano with lovely scenery. We adored the Hozugawa River Ride. It was amazing. Lots of fun, beautiful scenery. The captain and boatmen were wonderful. They were very informative and funny. We had a great time on this boat ride. We highly recommend this tour. We felt very safe on the boat ride.

As a first timer to Japan, I enjoyed the tour greatly. Our guide, Yuki was knowledgeable and answered questions readily. She was also highly engaging and looked out for the group. Sufficient free and easy time was provided to take pictures individually too, and tour ended on time. Highly recommended if new to Kyoto! However do note the tour agency will not separately send you any confirmation email/message on the tour.

This half day tour was the highlight of our holiday we are so glad we booked it. Absolute value for money. Excellent guide and very funny boatmen who work hard for their money. I would recommend to anyone visiting Arashiyma. Don’t forget to try the tofu ice cream after the bamboo forest, it’s pretty good.

Amazing experience. Our guide Yuko was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Highly recommended.

We were fortunate to have had Afifah as our tour guide. She's very knowledgeable of the history of the sites we visited. She also took us to Instagram worthy spots that weren't crowded. The best part for us was that she's a Muslim. That means looking for halal street foods was easy and suggestions for halal restaurants were always available. This really enhanced our visit to Kyoto! She's also great with children. Highly recommended.

booked this for the train ride. but it was not clear to me why we were not able to take it.
