Great views, beautiful gardens, and a lot of background information in one morning
Our guide Raphael welcomed us very kindly and provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the culture/religion, the sights, and the growth of bamboo throughout the tour. He also gave us great recommendations for local dishes and snacks along the way. There was also plenty of time to collect stamps :) The stop at the tea house with various types of tea to try was also great.
Thank you very much for the informative morning with great views over Kyoto.

Fun for a multigenerational family of 10
This was a great sample of Kyoto and a great way to get out of the city. Our multigenerational family of 10 enjoyed learning about the history of the places we visited, having some leisure in addition to the guided parts, and Tom, our guide, was incredibly patient, kind, and spoke terrific English! Highly recommend this tour, especially with Tom. Be advised the monkey park, which was so neat to see, is about a 15-20 minute walk up a steep hill. However, if monkeys aren’t your thing, the views alone are worthwhile.
