Cici is an outstanding Kyoto guide for English-speaking visitors to the historic city. She picked us up at our designated starting point and we headed off on our adventure. She helped us navigate Kyoto's public transportation to get to all our destinations. She had a plan for us on the sights to see, but we asked about a few others that we wanted to add and she quickly put together an itinerary that worked great. She's a really friendly, pleasant person to spend time with and I could not recommend her more highly. She really helped make our trip to Kyoto special.

Kyoto was incredible, and having Nisa as our guide made the day even more special! She knew all the best spots and shared so much about the history and culture that it really brought the city to life. Her pacing was perfect—relaxed but still full of adventure—and she made sure everything felt effortless for us. What I loved most was how Nisa’s passion for Kyoto shone through in every part of the day. She made the experience fun, meaningful, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Kyoto, Nisa is the guide you want by your side!

Hope was so informative and helpful. A good tour guide shows you the things you didn't know you oh wanted to see. We went the wrong place and he helped us figure it out and compensated for it.

Whether you have a full day, half a day, or just three hours, soak up the spirit of ancient Japan on one of our personalized city tours of Kyoto. Led by a local guide who’s already uncovered every inch of their city, our walking tours in Kyoto are the perfect way to discover the hidden haunts and lesser-known landmarks beyond Kyoto’s world-famous attractions. On a private tour of Kyoto, you’ll get an authentic glimpse into the Japan of centuries ago. From exploring the 1200-year-old Kiyomizu-dera Temple to walking the wood-built streets of fairytale Higashiyama (and taking a moment to marvel at the geishas floating through lantern-lit Gion), our personalized tours of Kyoto beautifully narrate Japan’s fascinating history. But you’ll also have the opportunity to see the city through a local lens. In fact, some of the most memorable things to do in Kyoto are the pastimes of the people who call the city home: grabbing a beer at a cozy izakaya or eating street food while watching the sunset over Kamo River. On a private tour with City Unscripted, you’ll experience the highlights and hidden gems – simply tell us what your dream local tour of Kyoto looks like, and we’ll make it happen.
