We had a lovely time visiting all the "must-sees" in Kyoto with an upbeat, energetic guide who made navigating public transit—including complicated buses—a breeze. We would have never been able to pack in so much rich experience in so little time on our own!

Norrie was a brilliant guide. After booking Norris was assigned to our booking, he wrote and introduced himself and then asked what we would like to see. We exchanged some ideas and he then provide us with our 6 hours itinerary, which was perfect. Norrie was knowledgeable and made the day very interesting with his knowledge of Kyoto and some fun facts thrown in during the day. We would recommend this trip to everyone. If you have Norrie as your guide you will be guaranteed a great trip. Kyoto is a very interesting city with lots to see and do.

We had a fun day touring Kyoto’s shrines and temples. Getting around was easy with a mix of buses, trains, and lots of walking. Kyoto is magical and Kazuo , our tour guide was well organized and knew his history. He picked us up from our Airbnb and brought us back at the end of the day. Make sure to wear your waking shoes!
