Experience City Tours in Kyoto with Withlocals

"We had the most stunning bike trip with Trio. He was engaging knowledgeable and generous with his time He went above and beyond what you would expect from a tour guide -warm compassionate and engaging I would highly recommend booking with him. We saw the Best of Kyoto without feeling like we’re one of the tourists.🫶🏻"

"This was such a fun tour. Eiji was so informative and polite. We saw so much more of Kyoto than by simply walking. "

"David was so easy to talk to. He listened to what we were interested in doing and ended up recommending Fushimi Inari which was an incredible experience. So glad we had a chance to see it!"

"David did a great job of explaining the history of Kyoto and the important role the Geisha play. He was able to connect it to Hollywood movies which helped us sort out the myths from reality "

"We loved our first morning in Kyoto with Shohei. He was very knowledgeable and easygoing, which made for a fun and informative morning. We learned a lot and our 3 kids had a blast. It was a wonderful experience and intro to Kyoto! "

"Riding bikes with Tiro was easily the highlight of our trip! We got to see all of Kyoto from an entirely new perspective while learning about the history and culture. Tiro is an enthusiastic, charismatic and knowledgable guide - passionate about Kyoto and its history. I highly recommend this tour!"

"Ryuki is a fantastic tour guide! He took us to some hidden gems away from the crowds as well as instagram spots. Our favourite was the bamboo forest, the cherry blossom and matcha icecream and yummy snacks. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the templeS and shrines as well as the geisha culture. Thank you!"

"The best experience in Kyoto! We had a visually stunning walk, super interesting talks about the local culture, how religion is practiced, the daily life of the city… a truly enriching cultural experience!"

"I want to be sure to share what a wonderful experience we had in Kyoto. It was truly a pleasure to spend the day with Naoki who was extremely knowledgeable about Kyoto, its history, customs, food, etc etc. It ended up being sort of a combined day of history and food tour, and it was perfect. We feel as though we got to know this special city through the eyes of a guide with a passion for his town and his country. He spoke English perfectly and moved through town at just the right pace for my 16 year old son and me. I would recommend him highly."

"My wife and I had a terrific introduction to Kyoto with David today. We enjoyed the pace of the trip which allowed us to see many sites, enjoy local food, and get a good introduction to Kyoto. We will definitely be back and look forward to hopefully booking with him again! "
