Excellent detailed tour of Kyoto with the BEST guide Kumiko
2013ABC2013,Dec 31, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Last week my family and I toured KYOTO, guided by Kumiko who was beyond excellent. Kumiko is super knowledgeable, sweet, friendly, funny, punctual, and resourceful. She took us to several shrines, bamboo forest, market, etc... she explained all the facts and stats and in the rare instances when she did not know the answer to a very specificquestion, she took the time to do the research and got back to us with detailed answers the same night. Kumiko even helped us with restaurant and train reservations. We really couldn't have had a better guide. Kumiko became a friend to the whole family, especially the children. We look forward to visiting japan again to tour more with Kumiko
Well Organized and Informative Tour of Kyoto

5.00Kumiko is a true pro! She organized a fantastic and efficient tour for 11 of us, including 5 children (ages 5-13) and one handicapped adult. Kumiko put together an itinerary of major Kyoto highlights, including the Kyomizudo temple, bamboo gardens, and Fushimi Inari (tori gates). She organized a mini bus to take us from point to point, making moving so many people across an expansive geography a breeze. Further, the communication in the weeks leading up to the tour was on point with no details left out. I HIGHLY recommend her tour company to help organize tour time in Kyoto!
