Discover Kyoto with us.
Explore Kyoto on a private and fully customised day of discovery, with countless options, to make for a day you'll remember for years to come.
This is not just a day of sightseeing but a chance to really dive in and partake in activities giving you a cultural immersion into the unique traditional arts and culture of Japan. We can start by taking you to see some of the highlights of the city and with our insider knowledge we know the best way to get around town and the ideal times to visit each place. For those who wish to get off the beaten path we can also take you to discover the lesser known but equally beautiful hidden gems. After we learn about what makes you tick as a traveller, we can plan out a course of action with the balance that suits you best.
One thing we offer that other tours don't always have is a choice from a wealth of VIP extras to add some fun and cultural appreciation to the day with everything from calligraphy classes to kimono dress up photo shoots. We also have local connections with artists who can give you a look behind the scenes and a deeper appreciation of local craftsmanship. And for those looking for a more spiritual experience, we can arrange private sessions with monks for tours of sacred sites or even meditation practice.
Once you have booked, we get started by having you fill in a little questionnaire so we get a better sense of the type of traveller you are. Then we will get started on the perfect plan of action for your special day in Kyoto. Let us create a handcrafted bespoke experience for you and yours to truly get the most out of your precious time in this beautiful city we call home and discover Kyoto with the VIP Experience.
