Tomio was the best guide we have ever had. He was kind and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about Kyoto. He also went out of his way to make the trip fun for our kids- pointing out hidden wildlife and showing them interesting things. Would definitely recommend this trip

We had the most fantastic tour around the bamboo forest and surrounding area with the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide we have ever had. We learnt so much about what we were seeing but also Kyoto and Japan, it's history and culture. We would not hesitate to book at tour with Tom again

Tom was a fantastic tour guide. He was helpful and informative and interesting. The pace is not fast and we got to see so many important and interesting sites of the area.

A fantastic experience which was made so much more delightful with our guide's, Karim, expertise. Karim's knowledge of the area was very well received, he was patient and provided us with plenty of opportunity to make the most out of our day. He was even available after the tour and provided guidance on certain matters we needed clarification, including where to purchase specific items we were looking for in Japan. Definitely worth it and would highly recommend it.
