    This was an informative tour of culturally important sites in Kyoto by a friendly guide who was fluent in English. Thank you, Kazuo, for helping me and my friends see the top sites in Kyoto on our 6-hr walking tour.

    Yuka provided great suggestions and we agreed a good itinerary together. She moved at a good pace and helped us make the most of busy places. Got lots of additional information about Japanes culture and lifestyle. As well as good historical and religious information. 6 hours (our choice) but when we had had enough she helped us find the market to have something to eat. Would definitely recommend a private guide and particularly Yuka

  • Excellent guide

    Our guide, Yoshii Kenichi, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and went above and beyond to make the experience worthwhile. We managed to visit three temples that were not close to each other. So he ended up spending an extra hour to complete the tour. It was a very interesting day.

    We had a fabulous, fun fill tour of Kyoto with our awesome guide Hiro. He picked us up from our hotel and had a busy itinerary planned. We saw so much of Kyoto including the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Yasaka Pagoda, Sanjusangen-do Temple and the amazing Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Hiro also orientated us to the train/bus system which was a bonus. Hiro’s knowlege and history of the sites and Japan was fabulous. We highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough you might tour with Hiro. Thanks for much for a great day.
