5.00Hero is an awesome guide! I was full of curiosity, and he had answers to every question. He had insider knowledge not just about the beautiful sights of Kyoto, but about local customs. He is a genuinely warm person who makes the tour feel like you're seeing a friend's hometown. I will definitely book another tour with him in our future Japan travels.
