    This tour brought to 3 distinct sites which were out of the downtown area. Hiro was communicative 48 hours before the tour, warmly welcomed us at the meeting point, and had great explanations throughout the tour, while at the same time, always making sure we were safe and all going the correct way. I don’t know if we would’ve appreciated as much, let alone gotten there 🤣 had it not been for the tour and Hiro. Hiro even sent us restaurant recommendations and escorted us to a specific point in Kyoto station at the end. Arigatō gosaimasu!🙏

    We had such a fantastic early morning walking tour with Ayame! She was so kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the morning. Starting early meant we were able to see many beautiful sites before the crowds arrived, which made the experience feel extra special. Ayame also took photos for us making sure we had wonderful memories to take home. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto—it’s the perfect way to start the day!

    My friend and I dream was shattered because of the tour guide, this was a walking tour with 2 others When we meet at the meeting point the greeting was not very friendly. We proceeded to start are tour but could not hear her well, either she wasnt feeling well are very soft spoken. We also notice she will engage more conversaton with the couple and not as a group of four. We wanted to take photos of The beautiful scenery of kyoto, BUT her face expression told us alot, she wasnt to happy with us taking photos while walking and stopping for a few seconds for photos. She continue to walk ahead of us talk to the couple even when we proceeding to another distination on the city bus not interacting with us as a group. It was a very uncomfortable feeling and did not enjoy it with tour guide

  • The most organized way to see Kyoto’s highlights.

    This was the best time of day to do this tour as tourists began to arrive at the sites later in the morning. Our guide Genke spoke perfect english and took the guess work out of navigating Kyoto’s train and bus system. I highly recommend this tour and Genke was the best tour guide we encountered during our visit to Japan. He was a true gem.
