We booked the 6-hour tour starting at 3:00 PM, and we’re so glad we did. Alessandro was an absolute pleasure — friendly, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable. It was clear he genuinely enjoys what he does, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite the rain, we managed to see so much, and he even helped us find great restaurants and assisted with ordering. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

Our guide did not seem to know the area well and her knowledge of Japanese history was poor. We did not learn anything about the sites we visited.
Kokoro in Kyoto was awesome!

Ian was knowledgeable and considerate. Ian took us to less touristy places and we enjoyed the peace and calm of temples and shrines in Kyoto

Had a wonderful time in Kyoto and I do believe that if anyone goes there, they need a tour guild. Our guild even helped us get our train back to Tokyo, which was a significant help to us. He was a very good guild.
