Really great guide. Showed us some beautiful temples and Shrines. My favorite Temple was at the top of a busy street. The Tory gates were really beautiful experience as well.

We had Jose as our guide and he was awesome throughout our entire day. He’s very knowledgeable on all things Japan and we really appreciate he’s responsiveness to our questions. 100% the money was well spent and I would recommend anyone to tour Kyoto with Jose.

Jose was a great guide for Kyoto! He was also flexible in adjusting the itinerary based on our interests and preferences. We learned a lot from him! He also gave us great tips for other sightseeing in the area. It was a real pleasure to have him take us from sight to sight (involves trains and buses) instead of having to plan it ourselves. The information he gave us at each site was very interesting!

I took this tour with my 77 yr old mother, the guide Tom was excellent. Tom was able to customise the tour to the parts of Kyoto we were interested in. At the beginning of the tour Tom asked us what we wanted mostly to gain from the tour, and we wanted to hear about the history of Kyoto and Japan in general. The knowledge that Tom had was outstanding. Not only did he provide expert commentary, Tom kept the pace of the tour appropriate to our ability. We had a combination of walking and taking local taxi's, and saw things we wouldn't have if we didn't have Tom guiding us.

We visited the Nomomiya Shrine, Bamboo Forest, Okochi Sanso Garden, Togetsukyo Bridge, Horin-ji Buddhist Temble and Monkey Park. The small entry fee for Okochi Sanso Garden was totally worth it (make sure you get tea and visit the memorial to the famous actor that founded this garden). Our guide Tom was very nice and informative. We really enjoyed our time with him and the lunch we shared together. We appreciated learning about what we should and shouldn't do at shrines and temples in order to respect local culture. The walk up to Monkey Park is a little bit of a hike and we enjoyed seeing the monkeys and the view from up there. Thank you Tom!
