We met up with Chris near his flat and he took us for a short tour around his neighborhood adjacent to a forested area. He took us to a small tranquil shrine where we enjoyed the early morning peace and quiet. The experience while sitting in contemplation was quite spiritual. Chris explained many things about the area and we thoroughly enjoyed his commentary. Chris has a deep passion and love of the Japanese culture and he was a joy to be with. Highly recommended.
Our small group of 3 had two fantastic walking tours with Chris when in Kyoto - 3hr Foodies tour & a HUGE full day of Temples, Shrines, hidden local eating places & Philosophers Path. Chris tailored our walk to accommodate my 'still recovering broken leg' with a mix of walking, taxi, & buses. We wished we had also done the Arashiyama walk with Chris as well as we got hopelessly lost on our own!! Chris is fluent in Japanese, so personable & knowledgeable, clearly loves his adopted Kyoto home & is so well acknowledge by his local contacts.
We had such a great time with Chris. His friendly personality and his knowledge made us appreciate Kyoto even more. After a conversation with Chris, we chose an ebike tour and I loved it. We saw some popular tourist sites but also some local favorite spots where there was no other tourist around.
I highly recommend Chris and Kyoto guided tours, you won’t regret it.
Can not recommend Kyoto Guided Walks highly enough. The whole family had an amazing time. The guide ensured we all took something from every site. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and energetic. A very personal experience with insights and locations that other tours do not offer.
We booked 2 tours with Kyoto guided walks. Chris was an awesome guide, very helpful and his local knowledge was fantastic. Chris even stayed in touch with us after the tours and gave us tips on what to do.
We highly recommend booking a tour at the start of your visit so you get a great overview on local life and must see attractions, some away from the tourist traps.
Chris is highly professional and yet so personal.
Home after two weeks in Japan.Wanted to say a big "Thanks " to Chris for our day in Kyoto .It was a great day and Kyoto is just beautiful . Your knowledge, fun personality and the places we walked to were amazing . Without your expertise and guidance we wouldn't of seen these beautiful places . Would highly recommend booking with Chris - Kyoto Guided Walking Tours. Thanks again from us down under ! Tony n Robyn 😀
Just brilliance. Highly recommend. This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. Chris is very knowledgeable and also entertaining. He takes you to the ‘must see’ sites as well as authentic Japanese places to give you real insight into their culture. Thanks again Chris we had the best two days here in Kyoto.
