Amazing Tour Guide for Kyoto

5.00My wife and I spent 8 hours with Sunny’s touring expertise for our honeymoon in Kyoto, and Sunny made our first day there as special as it could have been. We toured the Fushimi Inari shrine, the Gion district, the area around Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, the Kiyomizu temple, and ended the day with the Yasaka shrine. The day was carefully crafted to fit what we had told Sunny we wanted to see most and what type of experience we were looking for. Throughout the tour, Sunny navigated us to the best sights and places to get whatever souvenirs we were looking for, all while providing interesting facts and stories about each area. We could not have been happier with how our day with Sunny went, and we highly recommend her services to anyone who plans on visiting Kyoto. We will certainly hire her again if we make our way back to Kyoto.
The perfect private tour

5.00This was such an amazing night with Sunny. We got to go to a really nice restaurant and then we walked the streets of Kyoto with Sunny telling historical and cultural stories. We ended up at the bambooforrest for the lightfestival. Sunny is very very good in English and so easy to talk to. We highly recommend booking her - but do it a bit in advance, then she will prepare the best tour.
Wonderful tour!

5.00We had a fabulous tour with Ren. He was a great guide. We learned a lot and really enjoyed our time. He was very patient and moved at the pace of our family of four, including our 7 and 5-year old daughters. He showed us the best sights. I highly recommend. Our kids’ review is that “he is good because he picks good things to go to.”
Fantastic way to see Kyoto at Night!

5.00Me and my friends had the pleasure of touring Kyoto at night with Sunny. Her knowledge of the area allowed us to learn so much about Kyoto and the history of the city. She also put together an extraordinary private dinner for our group and had a special menu prepared that introduced us to some of the finest food we have ever tasted. The attention to detail also comes with fantastic communication about what to expect and how to prepare for your tour. If you are going to visit Kyoto and can only do one thing, this is definitely it! We will be talking and reminiscing about our time with Sunny for a lifetime!
