“The day was long! From 7-6:30. So, be prepared for that. You’re going to see a lot. Big crowds, and wonderful sights. Andrea was a fantastic guide. She was down to earth, and knowledgeable. She’d speak English, Spanish, and Japanese with a flip of a switch. It was quite impressive. If you want to see Kyoto’s historic spots, this tour is for you! If you’re not into crowds, go during the off season. Thank you Andrea, and the fantastic bus driver(Ikiro San?)”
