Reviews
“A truly special walking tour.”
I had the pleasure of joining Romain on a walking tour of Kyoto. Unlike the usual tourist routes, Romain focuses on quieter places full of charm, history, and authenticity that most visitors would hardly find on their own. He speaks excellent English (and native French) and has a calm, thoughtful way of guiding that makes you feel immediately at ease.
“A different and more intimate side of Kyoto.”
I didn’t know much about Kyoto apart from the major tourist sites… So this tour really allowed me to discover another side of the city! We walked around some quiet areas and visited charming temples that were almost empty. Romain gave us space to enjoy and take photos. Very enjoyable!
