My partner and I had a great day with Ravindu. He expertly showed us around Kyoto and shared with us the historical and cultural significance of each site we visited. He also tailored the sites to our interests and requests, as we had seen a couple of the most popular Kyoto sites on our own the day prior to our tour. We also had a couple of special requests to see specific sites that Ravindu accommodated without hesitation. We enjoyed Ravindu’s insight to contemporary Japanese life from the comfort of the well appointed and air conditioned van as we traveled from site to site. This is a great way to see a lot of Kyoto’s remote sites in a quick, inexpensive way. Highly, highly recommended.

We had a wonderful experience. Ganesh was punctual, thoughtful, and had already planned a great sightseeing route for the day. He was extremely kind, and the car was very comfortable and spotless. At each stop, he would park conveniently close, escort us to the entrance, explain what we were about to see, and then patiently wait for us to return. At Arashiyama Forest, he walked with us the entire way, pointing out beautiful spots we might have missed on our own. He also took amazing photos of our group, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommended!
