Great experience in Kyoto with family and kids - We had a wonderful time with Akiko in Kyoto. Amazing, kind person. She made our trip ultra special. She gave a lot of attention to my daughter and my family. She is very patient, very knowledgeable and extremely thoughtful. She took us to great spots with perfect timing. Thank you so much for getting Akiko to be our guide! Akiko, you are the best!

Best day exploring Kyoto with our friendly guide. Enjoyed his knowledge of history and culture. Making it a fun day. - Our tour with Masa was excellent. Masa was warm and friendly. He met us at our hotel which made it stress free. Masa show us his favourite attractions which were on our to do list while explaining the history and culture and what it means to Japanese people today. Masa helped us with our IC cards and gave us good information on transportation. We went to a lovely Japanese restaurant for lunch and the food was delicious. Masa made our tour a lot of fun which we will remember of our tour in Kyoto.

Despite the rainy weather, we had a lot of fun. It was interesting and not just running from place to place. - First of all, there was our guide, whose knowledge and professionalism were impressive, his patience in listening and answering every question, and the feeling that he had all the time for us was noteworthy. We really enjoyed his company.

Great tour and value for money - It was a great tour giving us an opportunity to customise the tour according to our preferences. Haider was an excellent driver and communicated well with us advising recommended time for each attraction and giving clear directions about meeting points.

Recommendable and nice day tour in Kyoto - A wonderful day in Kyoto. We had a very nice and informative tour with the key highlights, led by our great tour guide Kei. We started with the Fushimi Inari Shrine and its impressive torii gates , then to Kiyomizu-dera temple, with a light and very nice lunch in the area and finally went to see the Kinkaku-ji Golden Temple just before sunset. Kei also provided additional tips and information for our trip.

A great day in Kyoto - We had a great day in Kyoto! Our guide Kei has chosen the absolute highlights for us. First the Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousand gates, then the kiyomizu-dera temple. Afterwards we had time for a very good lunch in a Japanese restaurant chosen by Kei before we visited the golden temple Kinkakuji at the end. It was a very successful day in Kyoto and Kei a great guide who gave us even more tips for our visit.
