The best tour of our Japan trip! - Couldn’t recommend this trip more highly! If you’re lucky enough to get Keiko as your guide you won’t be disappointed, she was so friendly & knowledgeable, took so many wonderful photos of us & made the day fun & interesting! Even though you cover a lot of ground (walking) it’s enjoyable & well paced. We had lots of time for questions, an amazing lunch recommendation & doing a private tour meant we got a tour personalised to us. Keiko also gave us a great dinner recommendation & sent through all the lovely photos of us as a keepsake for later! Highly recommend!

Great tour - Tomoko met us at the train station at 8 in the morning, she was very helpful , patient and knowledgeable. She booked a sushi bar for lunch which was a great experience plus we wouldn't have known how it all worked without her. We went to several temples including the magnificent golden temple, great value tour

Excellent cultural experience led by private guide. - Excellent cultural experience. Our guide Kazuo who is a retired English teacher made the day memorable. It was just him, my husband and I. It was nice that he took charge of everything so all we had to worry about was learning and enjoying what felt like a very personalized experience. He met us in our hotel lobby. We took the subway and bus to the different sites. This allowed us to really feel like locals. He gave us valuable information at the sites that you wouldn't know if you were on your own. He also helped translate when we were shopping. He took us to a sushi location for lunch that was excellent. The quality of the food and the freshness can't be beat. We were happy to treat him to lunch, it was not expensive by any means. We were sad to say goodbye to Kazuo. Don't hesitate to book this experience it is worth every penny.

Great tour of Kyoto highlights with an excellent guide - The Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Kinkakuji Temple and Golden Pavilion were the highlights of the tour which covered the must see locations in Kyoto. We were fortunate to have Mr. Tohru Shimigaki as our guide. He made the tour very enjoyable with his knowledge and humour. He showed us the highlights of Kyoto, travelling on the train, subway, bus, trolley and taxi. Thanks to him, we feel comfortable travelling around Kyoto on our own. It was a wonderful tour with a great guide!

Great, informative & pleasant tour with Naoko! - Enjoyed our tour with Naoko! Since it was only our family, it became a private tour for us. She shared a lot of information about the sights we visited & even was our official photographer! Except for the moments where we had to walk fast which was tiring, our family really enjoyed the tour with Naoko! We got to see the major sights of Kyoto with minimal crowds & even had a delicious lunch.

History, culture, and wonder. - We were delighted to have Meg as our tour guide. We learned so much about each site which gave us a deeper appreciation of its historical significance. This tour was a full day and we packed a lot into it since we only had 1 full day in Kyoto. Highly recommend this tour and request Meg as tour guide!!

Great tour! - We had Chie as our tour guide. She was great, a wealth of knowledge and enhanced the experience at each site. She was also amazing at helping us to navigate the different public transport aspects to get to each place efficiently. Starting early also seemed to avoid alot of the crowd though places were still quite busy. Thanks again Chie!
