    Hi, our guide Taka-san was very knowledgeable. We had a great day and all visits and transfers went smootly. We particularly liked to get the local insights Taka-san shared with us. A successful day visiting beautiful Kyoto!

    Akiko was an amazing tour guide. She balanced teaching the adults history while entertaining the children. She adjusted the tour to suit the entire family, she was able to read our children needs sometimes better than us. Our tour was amazing and we couldn’t recommend this more especially if your guide is Akiko! We only had a short period of time in Kyoto and this made the best of it.

  • Wonderful tour of Kyoto

    This is a must do if you have limited time in Kyoto. Chihiro is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. She lived in the states for 10 years and her English is excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out things we would have just walked by and not noticed. She had a great sense of humor and made it an enjoyable day!

    Naomi provided us with an excellent tour. She was knowledgeable and friendly. Despite the less than ideal weather she was able to pivot to provide us with a highly satisfying experience. We would do it again in a minute!
