When I first came to Kyoto over 8 years ago, I never imagined how deeply this city would capture my heart. Every corner has a story, from samurai legends to geisha traditions, and I’ve made it my passion to uncover them. Now, I’d love to share these stories with you.
Benjamin was a fantastic guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the forest and the local sights. He answered all our questions and he even took photos for everyone - somehow making it look like we had the forest to ourselves, even though it was actually quite busy! He also recommended an evening event in the forest, and I went back later with my family to check it out. It was well worth the trip!
This tour is awesome. Arashiyama is beautiful and Benjamin is a great guide to have for the area, not only does he know the best photo spots but also the secret spots 👍
Ben was awesome. He was knowledgeable about everything on the tour and Kyoto in general. He gave us several recommendations on how to spend the rest of our time in Kyoto. The time flew by - I was sad when it ended. I highly recommend this tour and Ben specifically.
Ben was a very friendly and extremely helpful guide. He gave us so much information about the bamboo forest and life in Kyoto. I would recommend him to anyone who wanted to find out about this area.
Ben was fantastic. Knowledgeable and nice. Kept a good pace. Would def recommend and go again
