"We took this Kyoto private highlight tour on Christmas day (December 25th) 2022. Our guide, Ms. Chako, is such an amazing person with a wealth knowledge of the Kyoto area. This private tour is such a recommend tour because you can pace yourself, enjoy the place of interest and have an additional information provided by your guide. Additional highlight of the tour is the Ramen lunch, where Ms. Chako recommended the restaurant. We are such a ramen enthusiasts and this shop (off the beaten path) can rival all the ramen shop in Kyoto. All and all we highly recommend this tour. With a tour guide such as Ms. Chako, this program is a must to anyone who want to visit Kyoto."
