8 magnificent hours spent with Ada today! We packed in a perfect balance of Kyoto's temples, shrines, gardens, secret spots, shops, iconic streets, districts and food experiences. Ada opened our eyes and minds to a wealth of history and knowledge, incl when not to take photos (eg cemetaries). So grateful and HIGHLY recommend this tour, incl for people who've lived in Japan for many years like me.
