2 Days in Kyoto

We spent 2 days with Toshiyo in Kyoto. Day 1 we went to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Tenryuji Temple, Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama and Fushimi Inari Shrine. Day 2 we went Nijo Castle, Yasaka Pagoda and Kiyomizudera Temple. Toshiyo was very sweet and patient with our large group of 8 and both days she took us to delicious restaurants for lunch. Thank you, Toshiyo!

Kyoto tour

We were late upon arrival to Kyoto due to train issues but Ms. Toshiyo was patient. We covered a pretty good area for the day. This is a private tour, so it can be adjusted to your liking, what places you wanted to see. I think though 1 day tour is not enough for Kyoto as this place has so many beautiful spots (which are far from each other). But thank you Ms. Toshiyo for a wonderful day.

Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing me the wonderful review. I hope you enjoyed Kyoto very much. Please come again and stay overnight in Kyoto next time. Regards. Toshiyo

1.5 days of tours of Kyoto with Toshiyo

We had a four hour tour the first day with Toshiyo on Monday and 6.5 hours the second day. We got to everything we were supposed to see and Toshiyo is a very nice person who goes out of her way to help people. We saw everything on our itinerary except for the Fushimi Inari shrine, which we will have to do on our own. The only odd thing on our 7 hour tour is that we didn’t break for lunch. We did ask a couple of times, but went 6.5 hours before stopping for ramen, and everyone was admittedly a little “hangry”. The tour started at 8:30 and finally got some lunch around 3 pm. Both tours were still very good and we would recommend touring with Toshiyo O.

Thank you for having me as your guide and writing me the kind review. It was hard to find nice places to eat for lunch on our way without wasting time to visit important sites. So finally I found a place but the place was hard to please your wife. I hope you enjoyed Kyoto very much. Toshiyo
