Reviews

・Olaf2024/10/24Thanks to our guide Shin, we three travelers actually gained much deeper insights on October 22, 2024 (including a tea ceremony and Japanese dinner in Gion with vegetarian options for my daughter), which I practically could not have organized myself. Absolutely worth every yen paid and provided us with unforgettable impressions away from the tourist crowds. Based on my experience, Sharing Kyoto is definitely a wholehearted recommendation. Treat yourself to this luxury of a privately organized tour precisely tailored to your wishes in Kyoto, as you can indeed generate a personal gain of authentic vacation experiences for yourself.

・Michaela2024/4/6We learnt so much about the history of Kyoto, the culture of Kyoto and its people. We experienced many beautiful sites and got to see many different places, temples and parklands. We appreciated Shin’s commentary and knowledge of the area and also the follow up email with additional information and videos. We would very much recommend Shin and the Sharing Kyoto company.
