Great experience to avoid the crowds - Great way to see the Arashiyama area. There’s so much more to see than the bamboo grove and it’s worth exploring. This tour helps to avoid many of the crowded areas.

Enjoyable and interesting way to spend a day - We had a great day with Fuji. We walked, undeterred by the rain and visited several beautiful and peaceful temples. We learned at lot about the history and tradition which made what we saw so much more meaningful. Fuji was fantastic with Harper who is nine years old and he really enjoyed the experience. The lunch at the temple was interesting and fun. Highly recommend this tour when you are in Kyoto
