    Highly recommend this tour...early morning = less crowded. Ryugo was a wonderful host and guided us expertly from Kyoto Station to the various cultural sites and back. This was a small group tour...7 people total. So, we had ample time for questions and also getting to know the other travelers. Ryugo was knowledgeable and friendly...highly recommend other explorers to join him for this tour.

    Our family of 4 had the most memorable tour with Yusuke as our guide. Yusuke was knowledgeable, energetic about showing us the sights, and professional while being fun! He was eager to answer any question and was very accommodating to our group 7! We navigated the bus and train system effortlessly with Yusuke as our leader! Thank you Yusuke for showing us around beautiful Japan!
