Kyoto Tour Reviews

Kyoto tour

My wife and I had a great time touring Kyoto with Kanae. She was very knowledgeable and also very patient with us. We saw a lot of great places and enjoyed ourselves. We would recommend Kanae if you want a terrific tour of Kyoto!

We had a wonderful day in Kyoto with Akira as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and energetic, and his love of Kyoto comes through in his telling of history and descriptions of the culture. We started our day visiting the snow monkeys, then went to the bamboo forest. En-route he took us to the “Kimono Forest” which was a fun surprise photo opportunity. After lunch we saw the Tenruji temple and gardens, and ended our day with the Golden temple. Akira recommended several restaurants and gave us a plan for our next day of sightseeing on our own. He even found a gluten-free Ramen noodles place! His English is excellent. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly feel lucky to have had the opportunity to spend the day with you in Kyoto and to show you some of the most beautiful sides of this city. Although we couldn’t visit every place we had in mind, I’m glad we were still able to enjoy several of Kyoto’s most iconic and representative spots together. Thank you again for visiting, and I sincerely hope we will have another chance to meet again in the future. Take care and all the best!

Kyoto Tour with Exceptional Care

We had a wonderful experience with Kanae. She was an excellent guide—very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible throughout the day. She tailored the itinerary to our interests and gave us great local recommendations that we truly appreciated. What stood out most was how accommodating she was to my mother, who has difficulty walking long distances. Kanae made sure everything was comfortable and accessible for her, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable for all of us. Overall, it was a memorable and well-organized tour, and we’re very grateful for Kanae’s care and professionalism. Highly recommend!

Janice, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to me. I’m very glad I had the opportunity to spend the day with you all. Your mother did an amazing job throughout the tour. I was really impressed by her effort and positive spirit. It was a pleasure to be with her. I also really enjoyed our time together and appreciate your warm company. I hope the rest of your stay in Japan was just as enjoyable, and I would be delighted to see you again if you return. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide.
