“Perfect day in Kyoto ”

Kanae was a great guide to work with from the time we first scheduled with her until the time that she dropped us off at our hotel at the end of our tour. She was quick to confirm our tour, and then was great in communicating and seeing what it was that my wife and I wanted to for our day in Kyoto. Her excellent English allowed for even deeper conversation about the sites we went to as well as the culture and history of Kyoto while we drove between the sites we visited. Kanae’s expertise and friendliness ensured that my wife and I made the most out of our limited time in Kyoto, we are both grateful to have had her as our guide.

Nick, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a generous and kind review. I am truly delighted to know that both of you enjoyed the tour. I really appreciated your enthusiasm and your respectful attitude toward our culture. Your insightful questions deepened my own understanding of Kyoto and Japanese culture, and I truly enjoyed spending time with you. I hope I will have the pleasure of assisting you again when you return to Kyoto.

“Best tour guide in Kyoto!”

Akira was an incredible tour guide, very professional but so warm and accommodating, with a lovely sense of humour. He made us feel very welcome and at ease. His superb historical knowledge of Japan and the Emperor and Samurai brought Kyoto alive for us. We were totally enthralled for 8 hours. He is just simply the best! Totally and unreservedly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you very much for your kind review. It was truly my pleasure to be your guide in Kyoto, to share enjoyable moments with you, and to introduce the beauty and history of this ancient city. I sincerely appreciate your trust in choosing me, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Thank you!

“Proof That a Great Guide Changes Everything”

We had a fantastic experience with our personal tour guide, Akira. He was extremely informative without ever being overwhelming, and his enthusiasm made the entire day engaging and fun. What really stood out was how well he personalized the tour to our interests, adjusting the pace and focus to match what we cared about most rather than following a rigid script. Akira was easy to talk to, knowledgeable about both history and local culture, and happy to answer any questions along the way. The tour felt relaxed, personal, and thoughtfully put together. Highly recommended if you want a guide who truly tailors the experience to you rather than just checking boxes.

Thank you very much for your great review. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you in Kyoto as well. I’m especially glad that your journey from Nara to Kyoto went smoothly, and that we were able to start our Kyoto itinerary comfortably. It was a pleasure to share the history of Kyoto with you and to take you to some places that most visitors usually don’t get to see. It was a wonderful day, and I wish you a fantastic and smooth journey for the rest of your time in Japan.
