The most beautifully-curated and authentic Kyoto tour for tourists, culture and history nerds!!!
My partner and I did this tour with Remy today. He is SO knowledgeable, accommodating and passionate about history. This tour is perfectly curated for tourists who want to experience true Kyoto culture (and great cheap food!) on top of the classic touristy destinations.
Remy knew the perfect spots to get photos inside Fushimi Inari (without being stuck in crowds at all!!) and the rest of the tour was at destinations outside of classic overpriced tourism spots (and therefore no crowds!!) but filled with the most incredible authentic Kyoto experiences and history, and beautiful social-media worthy scenic spots that we never would have discovered ourselves! 🥰
It is clear the amount of care and consideration that the Japan Tour Adventure team has put into this tour, forging relationships with local Kyoto historical sites owners and earning a well-deserved reputation as a kind, respectful tour agency that just wants to show the best parts of Kyoto to everyone ❤️
My partner and I cannot recommend Japan Tour Adventure (especially Remy) enough. By far the best tour of our Japan experience.
