5.00We had a fantastic half-day tour with our guide, Milo, provided to us by Kyoto Daily Tours. Milo told us a great deal about the culture and history of Japan and even answered our questions about the places we had already visited. Before the tour we had explored some parts of the city on our own, so we shaped the itinerary together to focus on the most interesting spots we hadn’t seen yet. The tour combined both popular sights and hidden, off-the-beaten-track places, which made the experience exciting and engaging from start to finish. Milo also took great photos of us, he really knows the best spots! We highly recommend the agency and especially our guide, Milo.

5.00Milo was just a phenomenal tour guide! It was almost instantaneous how comfortable my friends and I all felt. Even before the tour, he kept us informed so we’d have a general idea of what to expect on our journey. We visited Fushimi Inari Taisha, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest , and Kinkaku-ji. He clearly knows his stuff! He provided us with so much information at each landmark, and even small details we would have never known. Additionally his recs on food and other things to do were very appreciated. We highly recommend booking him!
Excellent Service!!

5.00Excellent walking tour of Kyoto with Paco. It was a private tour for our party of six with the ability to make your own itinerary. He emailed us prior to the tour to ask about any specific request of places would like to see. Day of tour he arrived promptly to our hotel to pick us up. He helped us navigate the trains to get to different sites. He took to us to some beautiful and less touristy temples and shrines so would not face the huge crowds. He was easy to converse with, very knowledgeable, and we enjoyed the day spent touring with him. At the end of the tour, he was kind enough to assist with purchasing tickets to other destinations such as Hiroshima which we planned to visit as well. He also sent over a list of other sites we could explore in Kyoto as well as restaurant recommendations. Paco is a wonderful guide for touring Kyoto.
It was very good.

5.00The guide who didn't play was a Spanish called Paco, He gave us detailed explanation of several iconic places in Japan, it was at our own pace (not carred), made us feel comfortable. He also recommended a place to eat, which was delicious with the culinary art of a Japanese with quite a lot of experience. Very happy, and a little tired of the hike. PS : wear comfortable tennis for tours.

5.00Excellent tour of Kyoto with Paco, our tour guide. We were a party of six and we did an all day private with him. Ahead of the tour, he emailed to make sure the sites we would like to see in Kyoto would be included in the itinerary. On the.day of the tour, he arrived promptly at our hotel to start the tour. We had a full of sightseeing with a break for lunch. Paco was very knowledgeable and told us so many interesting facts and stories. He had a great personality, was easy to talk to, and answered so many questions that we had. At the end of the tour he was nice enough to assist us with booking railway tickets to other destinations in Japan that we plan to visit, which was very helpful. Highly recommend this tour and Paco as a guide.
