5.00Sayury introduced us to the city of Kyoto in an incredible way, explaining each corner of the city very well, and she was also very attentive, asking at every moment if we were well-hydrated and if we had any questions regarding her explanations, very kind.

5.00Jordi was the best guide we have had so far on our trip to Japan. We could not catch him with any question, no matter how convoluted it was. It shows that he loves both his job and Japanese culture. Highly recommended!
Nice experience, a little more experience from the guide is needed

3.00We had our Kyoto tour with Chiara. She is very friendly and sweet and did her best showing us the gems of Kyoto and its history. We did notice that some of the information were inaccurate or lacked further development, so she needs a little more practice :) don’t let it stop you booking the tour, it was a nice experience (with the help of Google search here and there) ;)
