The Best Day of Our Vacation

5.00We cannot say enough good things about our Kyoto tour with Thomas. It was an absolutely delightful day filled with sights and insights. Thomas has an encyclopedic knowledge of Kyoto and all things Japanese. This was easily the best day of our two-week vacation. Thank you for making unforgettable memories for us. We heartily recommend KyotoTours - superb communications from the get-go. Joel and Moira Levesque Fredericton, Canada
