5.00It was a precise and successful tour. Our guide, ikki, was very clear, professional, and friendly, and in just two and a half hours he showed us everything we needed to know and see in Kyoto. Highly recommended — and if you can, ask for him specifically. You won’t regret it!
Great tour and lots to learn!

5.00This was our favorite tour in Kyoto. Our local guide was very personable and full of interesting information that was delivered in a fun way. He was also very understanding when two older members of a different family with us on the tour had to take frequent breaks. Would highly recommend if you’re interested in knowing more about what you’re seeing at the many shrines in Kyoto. Also the pictures the guide took and got to us very quickly turned out amazing! A highlight of our trip for sure.
Best way to learn Kyoto!

5.00Our Kyoto Magic Night walking tour was truly extraordinary! Our guide, Ikki, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire experience. Days before our tour, the company reached out to confirm our details and pick-up location, which set a reassuring tone. Traveling with our family of eight, including four children aged 5 to 12, we were particularly impressed by Ikki's ability to engage with the kids. He patiently answered all their burning questions and took the time to connect with them. His eloquent explanations of the customs and traditions associated with the temples and shrines we visited enriched our understanding and appreciation of Kyoto's rich culture. Ikki also captured beautiful family photos at every stop, ensuring we have lasting memories of our adventure. He went above and beyond, providing helpful tips and advice for our time in Kyoto beyond the tour. Overall, we had an unforgettable experience and wholeheartedly recommend this tour to both adults and families. A heartfelt shout-out to Ikki for making our time in Kyoto so special! Thank you for an outstanding experience!
