5.00An unforgettable experience! We were pleased to have Henry as our guide during our visit to Kyoto. From the beginning, his passion for the history and culture of the place was noticed. His in-depth knowledge of each site we visited made the tour not only interesting, but also fascinating. has a very enjoyable and fun way of telling stories, which made each stop feel unique and is always willing to share curious data that really enriches the experience. What impressed me most was their ability to adapt to the group, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the visit to the fullest. He even offered us personalized recommendations to enjoy the city even more after the tour. A totally worthwhile experience!
Great way to see the must-visit sights of Kyoto.

Kyoto Family Tour

5.00We toured Kyoto with Ana and it was an excellent experience. We were two adults and a 10-year-old girl, and perfectly adapted the visit to what we wanted to see, especially Kiyomizudera, Higashiyama and Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka streets. The visit was very interesting, with curious historical anecdotes that made the tour very enjoyable. In addition, it adapts to the rhythm and tastes of the family and explains everything clearly. Highly recommended to get to know Kyoto in a nice and well organized way. We look forward to having her back on our next visit:)
