“Family sightseeing in Kyoto on a hot summer day”
We had a fantastic day with Kaz visiting some of Kyoto‘s most exciting sites like Kiyomizu Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine and Sanjusangendo Temple. Kaz was very knowledgeable about the sites and Kyoto history and made the tour an excellent experience for the whole family. My teenage daughters enjoyed hearing about contemporary Japanese culture along the way. It was a hot day and she allowed for plenty of refreshment stops and a tasty lunch. We also managed to sample some local specialties. To finish it all off at the end of the day she shared some tips about Gion and local restaurants with us. Altogether a brilliant day for the whole family. We highly recommend a tour in Kyoto with Kaz. Steffen, Anna, Amelia & Phoebe, London, UK

“Fun, slice of life tour with friendly guide”
We loved our tour with Shu and I would highly recommend him. He was accommodating, super friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible — all great qualities in a guide. Shu customized an izakaya/bar tour to match our interests. His English is excellent so he not only explained things well to us, but he also translated so we could talk to the waiters, bartenders, and other patrons. That made us feel like we were experiencing a real slice of life and not just doing a typical tourist thing. In fact, we were the only non-Japanese in each location we visited. I would take another tour with Shu.
