Less than 24 hours before our 8 hour tour, Ahmed offered a car for 100,000 JPY (a ripoff). I was not given guide contact information, and tour was 1.5 hours late to start. Our guide was fantastic! But dealing with Ahmed (tour operator) was terrible. Our guide was not aware of pick up location and that we did NOT have a car. This is the responsibility of Ahmed, the tour operator. He is the one who interfaced with me. When I asked for compensation consideration, Ahmed said he would get back to me, but never did. It has been a week later and still no response from Ahmed. The tour cost $503 USD; I would guess the guide made less than $100. I do not recommend using this operator for a Kyoto tour. I’ve added screen shots of my communication with Ahmed.

Incredible day in Kyoto with special thanks to Mike. He was a great guide that shared beautiful locations in Kyoto; even ones that weren’t packed with people. Our family especially enjoyed Mike’s way of not just sharing the history, but letting us experience it through a story! He was very helpful with all our requests. Thank you!
