  • Kyoto with Mikie

    Mikie was the best guide. We loved her. She took us to see all the most beautiful spots of Kyoto and explained all the cultural heritage behind each spot. She was very kind and introduced us to the best gelato and macha cookies in Kyoto. I also loved that she took us shopping to good stores and not to cheap touristic stuff which is horrible. We ate really good food at lunch too. She took many pictures for us which was very convenient. Thank you Mikie!!

  • Great guide and tour...very friendly and knowlegable

    Thank you Mieko! Touching 40 degrees and still made it a fantastic day. Always one step ahead and sorting taxi’s, meals etc which was one of the best meals we’ve had in Japan. Sites are obviously amazing and you kept us informed and enthused. Would 100% recommend this trip if you are happy to maximise the day. 5 stars.

  • Excellent Kyoto Highlights Tour!

    We had an excellent experience with Hiro, visiting 10 of the top sites in Kyoto. We traveled via a mix of transportation (subway, tram, taxi) but were easily able to navigate and learn about the rich history of the area. Highly recommend!
