Kyoto Private Custom Tour with Local Guide

A private Kyoto tour with no fixed route. Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, Gion, and Kiyomizu-dera are the usual candidates, but which of them you see, in what order, and for how long is decided with you. Kyoto rewards this more than most cities, because timing is everything here.

• A route built around your interests, not a fixed itinerary
• A private guide for the day, yours alone
• Timing planned to avoid the worst of the crowds
• Pick-up from your accommodation if you prefer
• English throughout, no Japanese needed

1. Meeting point

   Meet your guide at Shijo-Kawaramachi, or at your accommodation.

2. Morning

   The first stops on your list, timed to avoid the crowds.

3. Lunch

   Somewhere your guide rates, chosen for what you have said you like.

4. Afternoon

   The rest of the day, adjusted as you go.
