Transparency & Trust: How Our Kyoto Tours Are Different

At the heart of everything we do is honesty.
Our Kyoto guided tours are designed with full transparency — all prices, inclusions, and exclusions are clearly stated upfront, so you’ll never be caught off guard.

We never include hidden fees, mandatory shopping stops, or accept kickbacks from vendors.
And when it comes to our food tours, you won’t be met with endless upcharges or fine print — if we say food is included, it truly is.

Join our Kyoto day tours with complete peace of mind, knowing your experience, comfort, and satisfaction always come first.

For our walking tours and night tours, meeting spots are always conveniently located close to train or subway stops.
