“Day tour Kyoto”
We had a wonderful family visit with our 2 kids today with Toshiyo on our first day in Kyoto visiting Bamboo Forest and temple, golden paviljon, impérial palace and Nijo castle. We had plenty of historical explanations about the visited monuments and had plenty of time and attention when wanted. We could also ask any question to Toshiyo which was great for our first time visit in Japan.

“My 15-year-old daughter and I loved our tour with Nori! ”
My 15-year-old daughter and I had a fantastic day touring Kyoto with Nori! He was incredibly organized, responsive, and helpful during the planning process. His deep knowledge of history and culture made each stop in the Arashiyama area more meaningful, and it was such a relief to have him guide us effortlessly through trains, buses, and crowds. He was also so easy to be around—funny, kind, and very relatable. The highlight of our tour was Okochi Sanso, the stunning private garden we might never have discovered if not for Nori’s recommendation. It was an extremely hot day, and by the time we reached the Golden Pavilion, the line was so long we decided to pivot and go shopping instead—Nori led us to market spots where we found some of our favorite purchases, including sesame and wasabi snacks, a cutting board, a kiwi slicer, and Spingle shoes! (Nori—when my husband was feeling better, I took him to Spingle and we both ended up getting shoes there! :)) I highly recommend Nori—he’s an exceptional guide and a great guy!

“Best experience we could have asked for ”
Joanna was the best tour guide we could have asked for on our trip to the Douro valley. She was thoughtful, prepared and knowledgeable. We loved getting to know her life story in and outside of Portugal and her view of the Portuguese culture. She called and confirmed reservations and let restaurants knew if we were running late. At the end she felt like a friend not a guide and we look forward to our paths crossing again!

Being able to be your tour guide in Douro Valley was amasing! The day started with our drive towards Douro, and with such nice conversations about our lives and also about the differences & similarities of our countries, the long drive time passed by very quickly. It's so nice when you are able to share your knowledge and learn from others at the same time. Then, we explore the region in a relaxed way, yet making the most of your day, between typical villages, wine tastings, view points and some laughs along the way. Was indeed a very special day in an unique location and totally felt like showing my country to some friends! Also, hope our paths cross again and wishing great trips around the world. Thanks again for choosing me as your tour guide!
