The only warning I would give to anyone considering this tour is that there is some level of fitness required to complete it. Other than that, it is a great way to start exploring Kyoto. Additionally, our guide was always looking out for everyone; he always ensured to be inclusive and catered our requests as much as possible. I definitely recommend it.”
