Kyoto Trip Overview
The most unique tour will take you to a castle, palace, temple, shrine, a local shopping street, and a Japanese garden while offering three amazing things:
1. Cycle through the streets of Kyoto with a local without waiting or queuing for bus/train or behind other tourists.
2. Get your photos taken by a professional photographer to document your amazing memories and the next day you will receive 50-100 stunning images to share with family/friends. No need for camera/selfie stick.
3. Learn about the history, culture and the people of Kyoto and Japan from an expat who’s lived in Kyoto for 12 years. No need to worry where to go and what to see. I’ll take care of it all. You just enjoy the sites.
