Kyoto Tours

Why take a tour with Kyoto Fun?

1. We are one of the first kids on the block.

Kyoto has seen a boom in the last 5 years and we have been here all along the way. Established in 2014 we have been lucky enough to show hundreds of happy people on our tours. We take our job of showing you the best day possible very seriously and are proud of our over 250 five star reviews on TripAdvisor. No need to take a chance with a newly established company or on Airbnb when you can choose us and know you will be in a safe pair of hands.

2. Small is beautiful

We specialize in intimate private tours for couples, families and groups of friends. We also have small group tours which anyone can join which have an average of 3-4 people per tour . We never take more than eight people at a time on any of our tours. No flags, no busses, just you, likeminded travelers, and your guide taking a journey of discovery in Kyoto.

3. We speak your language

All of our guides speak Japanese as their second (or third) language. We have guides from Canada, USA, Australia, the UK, Germany, France and South America. While all of our small group tours are provided in English, you can also request a private tour in your native language when available.

4. You choose how you see the city

With tours starting as early as 6 am and going as late as 10 pm there is a range of options for everyone. You can go by bicycle, on foot or with a private vehicle and chauffeur. Or even choose to get out of the city and into nature with one of our hikes in the mountains. When choosing a private tour, we send out a questionnaire so that you can be involved in the planning of your special day in Kyoto and everything is customized just for you.

5. Great for the whole family

We know how to make things interesting for adults and kids alike and can make a fun filled program for your special day in Kyoto. Choose from a mix of sightseeing and activities such as taiko drum class, ninja star throwing and lots more on our Family Fun for a day tour.

6. Get insider tips and savings on our member's only site

Once you book with us, we share a link to a member's only page with tons of tips on travel in Kyoto, Tokyo and the rest of Japan. We also have a list of our favourite restaurants, links to things we discuss on the tour and lots of other extras. Plus we post last minute specials on all our tours so you can choose to join us again.
