    A great tour with Jin our guide. She was so welcoming, friendly, well organised and full of information on the places we visited. The atmosphere was relaxed and at times humorous. Great to be in a small group with a five star guide.. Thanks Jin, you made it a rememorable visit to Kyoto and Nara.

  • Good tour but might be improved

    Meeting instructions were confusing. Had to take a 30 plus minute cab ride to get to the point. We had over three hours driving time total in which no narration was given and we thought that this was a real wasted opportunity to learn more. Mara was the best stop with the giant Budda and deer. We expected Kyoto to be more serene but it was just another large city. We hope that these comments are helpful. We enjoyed it overall.

  • Must Try Tour!
