“Thank you for two wonderful days in Kyoto”

Dear Miyu, Thank you again for two wonderful days in Kyoto. We truly enjoyed spending time with you. From the very beginning, you made everything feel easy and pleasant. Meeting us at the hotel was such a nice start, and we really appreciated how well you organized our first day. Going together to the local market, choosing ingredients, buying some Japanese sweets, and then preparing takoyaki together in the sharing apartment was a really special experience for us. Sharing that dinner made the whole evening feel warm, personal, and memorable. The second day was just as lovely. Your suggestion to leave early to avoid the crowds at the famous shrine was absolutely the right decision. The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was peaceful, and we could enjoy everything much more. We also loved walking through the old part of Kyoto and visiting a ramen restaurant that felt truly local and authentic. Ending the day at the temple was beautiful, and after returning to the center of Kyoto, we found a small hidden gem where we could sit outside near the arcade and enjoy a beer — a perfect ending to a wonderful day. What made the whole experience even better was you — always smiling, in a good mood, and ready for action. You brought such a positive energy to both days, and it made our time in Kyoto even more enjoyable. Thank you for your kindness, your effort, and for creating such a relaxed and memorable experience for us. We will remember these two days with great pleasure. Warm regards, Domen

Hi Domen, Thank you so much for your kind and heartwarming message! Reading it truly made my day. I also had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto with you. You were so open to trying new things—especially making takoyaki together! It felt more like hanging out with friends than a formal tour, and sharing that dinner at the apartment is one of my favorite memories as a guide too. I’m so glad you enjoyed the early morning visit to the shrine and our little "hidden gem" spot for a beer. It’s those quiet, local moments that make Kyoto so special, and I’m happy I could share them with you. Your energy and constant smiles made my job so easy and fun. Thank you for choosing me to be your guide! Please stay in touch, and I hope to see you again—perhaps for another beer or a new local discovery—whenever you return to Japan. Warm regards, Miyu

“Shanghai with Apple”

We spent a lovely day touring Shanghai with Apple. She met us at the airport on time and exactly where she said she would be. Apple was a delight to spend the day with. Her knowledge of Shanghai was excellent and she was easy to engage. She made sure that we got back to Pudong airport on time. We would definitely use her series again.
