“Firstly it was a very early start and though Cade made every effort to get us together with good pre joining instructions, we still failed! Totally our fault! 🤣 Cade was an excellent guide who enriched the tour with his knowledge of The Kyoto Area. Key spots of enjoyment were the Bamboo Forest and the Fush- Inari though it was all s great experience. It was extremely busy but our early start meant we missed the peak times. Travelling by train as a group was also fun, and Cade did excellently at keeping us on track whilst allowing for plenty of photo ops. I would recommend this tour for sure.”

It was a very chill evening, we covered so much ground in just 2.5 hours — he was incredibly organized and informed, he is so well-versed in the history of Kyoto and did such a good job incorporating some fun tidbits!
