Overview

Come with us to discover Kyoto through a private one-day guided tour!

The majestic Imperial Palace in Kyoto was the residence of emperors until 1868. We start the day by visiting it by immersing ourselves in centuries of imperial history.

Then head to Nijo Castle! We have here the symbol of the reign of the samurai and the Tokugawa clan from the 17th to the 19th century. Its “nightingale floor” and beautiful gardens are there to delight you.

We have lunch at Nishiki Market, the Kyoto food pantry. Fresh products, authentic Japanese flavors sweet and savoury… Perfect for us!

We end our day in Gion, the traditional neighborhood. To us the historic streets! If we're lucky, we might even meet a graceful geisha on a walk.

This tour offers a perfect mix of history, culture and flavours. Book now and let Kyoto seduce you. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
