Perfect Combination of Heritage Sites and Gardens

We had a very enjoyable day with Yuri who took us to the main sites we wanted to visit - The Golden Temple, Ryoanji Temple (our favourite with Zen temple and rock gardens), walk through the amazing bamboo forest and ending with the Sanjusan-gendo temple with the 1001 buddhas. Very manageable on a very hot Kyoto day using buses, trains and taxis. Yuri was very informative and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Dear Carole, Thank you for your kind review. I had a very pleasant time, guiding and talking with you and your family. I hope you enjoy the tour to Naoshima. Thank you again. Yuri

Kyoto all day

Yuri met us right at osaka pier and took us by train to Kyoto which of course saved us a ton of time. We packed a lot into our tour and surprisingly she got it all done. We even had a mid tour change of plans which she accommodated. She definitely kept the pace going. Good English, knowledgeable and caring. You cannot go wrong hiring Yuri as your guide.
