We really enjoy this tour with Ferdinand. He is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. During our trip we booked a few tours in Japan but this one was our favourite by far. If you are looking for a tour outside of Kyoto which is not Nara we can highly recommend going to Uji and have Ferdinand show you around.

Kevin was a wonderful guide. He communicated with me a few days before, was there to meet us and provided an excellent tour. He was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable about Japan after living many years there. He was super nice about taking pictures of my daughter and me. He also provided time for us to go tea shopping at the end. I'm recommending him to friends who will be traveling to Japan in the near future.

Our first stop with guide Kevin took us to the Byodion Temple. Kevin pointed out that the 10 Yen coin was based on this Temple. Lots of tours go to area but Kevin was able to get us in ahead of the crowds. He also took us to a hidden Shinto Shrine. Pace was just right. We finished with a tea ceremony. Not knowing anything about tea, I was pleasantly surprised. The host was patient and fun during Tea preparation. I was a nice way to end the tour. Kevin also provided food recommendations for us to try in Kyoto.

This was an incredible tour hosted by Mika in Uji, Kyoto. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. The Byodoin temple was beautiful and the museum that accompanied the tour was well worth our time. The shrines were also gorgeous. However, our favourite part of the experience as a whole was the tea making + tasting part of the tour. We loved learning more about green tea and the different temperatures at which it needs to be to develop a certain flavour. I would highly recommend this tour. Please go!
