This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

In order to closely feel the local atmosphere of Kyoto, this tour will use public transportation so that you can experience the everyday life of Kyoto locals, unlike other tour groups hastily hopping from one location to another on chartered buses. During the 7-hour tour, your guide will show you around the city covering four major must-see locations. There are two different courses: one northwest-bound and the other southeast-bound. If you participate in both tours, you can efficiently cover eight locations at a relaxing pace. For both courses, you can chose from private option, non-private option and non-private option with apprentice guide (reduced rate). Even if you chose non-private option, we guarantee that the total number of guests will be less than 9 people.

The experience offers several options. This price includes:

Reduced rate Northwest
Specially reduced rate package of Northwest-bound course conducted by our apprentice guides. Less-experienced yet friendly licensed guides will accompany your group for more reasonable rate.
Tour guide
Language: English
Human tour guide
Duration: 7 hours

Availability depends on seasonality and number of participants. Bookings can not be made for the same day. Please read our TnC’s.

When giving as a gift, your recipient can choose a date at their convenience during a booking process. Otherwise, you can choose one after checkout and voucher redemption.
