5.00Ami was an amazing tour guide!!! She went out of her way to make sure that we had a great time, she was even able to accommodate some of the activities for members of our group who were not able to walk quite as far. This tour was hands-down, the best experience for our first day in Kyoto. This was a great overview of Kyoto and hit some of the must see sights. The driver was also very polite and professional. I would absolutely book this tour again without a moment of hesitation.
Great Tour with local guide & driver - Highly recommended !

5.00Amy was an excellent tour Guide. She always kept eyes on us and made sure we didn’t get lost. She took a lot of pictures of us in the background and then sent them to me at the end of the day. It was a great VIP experience in a private car.
