10 tips from our local guides in Kyoto
Curated byRYUKI , Eiji and 3 other locals
Check these awesome tips by our amazing locals. Our local travelling community is more than willing to share some tips and show you their version of their beloved city.
Eiji was knowledgeable and took us on a very carefully thought out tour. The bike riding was easy and even though it was a hot day most of the ride was shady and the riding meant there was a good breeze. It was a lot of fun riding down tiny streets and discovering new areas. Eiji is an excellent guide.

Food tasting with friendly guide
Ryuki took us on a great tour of Kyoto’s eating places. We really enjoyed chatting to him and were shown lots of unique places and things to eat. Thank you Ryuki

Time with Ted
Ted was an absolute gentleman. Helpful, insightful, interesting. A highlight was that he took us to the out of the way spots, not just the tourist areas we could have found ourselves. That's what makes touring with Ted special, that's his point of difference!
