Walking Tour
Beyond Classic Kyoto: A Tailored Walk with a Local Friend
Swap crowded group tours for the intimate alternative of a private walking tour in Kyoto. Save time reading guidebooks and join a guide on an exciting itinerary to check off a curated list of highlights—such as Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Nishiki Market. A private tour means you can ask plenty of questions along the way, and you can also visit off-the-beaten-path locations too.
