What to expect

Embark on a day-long bus tour, meticulously crafted to showcase Kyoto's most emblematic landmarks. The journey commences at the tranquil Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. Here, towering bamboo stalks create an almost mystical atmosphere, offering serene paths for leisurely strolls and opportunities for capturing unforgettable moments.

The tour then proceeds to the awe-inspiring Golden Pavilion, a temple adorned in gold leaf, set amidst a scenic garden and reflective pond that amplifies its splendour. The journey continues at Nijo Castle, the former residence of shoguns. Here, you'll appreciate intricate artwork and experience the distinctive "nightgale floors" that chirp as a security measure. Next on the itinerary is Kiyomizu-dera Temple, renowned for its expansive wooden stage that provides panoramic views of Kyoto.

Nearby, you'll have the chance to explore charming streets brimming with traditional shops and local delicacies, experiencing Kyoto's historic allure. The tour culminates at Fushimi Inari Taisha, home to the famed red torii gates that meander up the mountainside, forming a spiritual and scenic trail. Under the guidance of a professional guide, this tour promises a seamless and enriching experience, enabling you to uncover Kyoto's cultural and natural beauty in comfort and elegance.
