Great day exploring Kyoto
Published on Nov, 2024
Had the most fun day with Imran our driver. He picked us up from the hotel at 8am as scheduled and took us straight to Arashiyama. He showed us which way to walk to see the Monkey Park, the walkway Bridge and also showed us how to get to the bamboo forest. He let us know roughly how long to stay at each destination also. We then went to the Golden Temple and he gave the same advice. For lunch he recommended us a few restaurants to suit any dietry needs we may have and it was delicious. He then took us into Kyoto to see the food market and finally took us to Mount Inari shrine. The highlight of this tour for me. He helped us take photos and showed us the best routes up and down. Really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend.
