Kyoto Tour Reviews
Myroslav M.
“Great experience with Atsushi”
We had a full day Kyoto tour with Atsushi. It’s been wonderful! Atsushi has great personality and lots of knowledge. He’s been extra flexible: picked us up early (8am) at a remote location, accommodated our ad-hoc desire to see a wonderful bonsai place and a street festival, and even went with us to a local department store to help buy some things. Atsushi’s vehicle was fully comfortable for our party of 4, and could have accomodated 6 passengers with a bit of squeeze in the middle row. Overall, a very satisfying trip. Thank you Asushi!
Atsushi T.
Dear Myro, thank you as well! Your family was so curious and noticed things I usually overlook, which made it a truly fun experience for me too. I wish you all a safe and wonderful rest of your trip. Next time you come to Japan for a longer stay, please reach out again!

“Into the magical world of the Samurai and beyond!”
Are you Zen or are you Bonsai? Shinto and Buddhist? The explanation !! Akira San introduced the above to our tour in the most dynamic way. The beginnings of being Japanese and how the Samurai became supporters of the Emperor to becoming a superpower of their own. The content of this tour is amazing . Akira San has a wonderful way on picking you up on a magic carpet and taking you into the past . He is dramatic orator and keeps you captivated at the different points of interest . On a practical point , he is punctual and drives you safely in a clean car . He shows great kindness and consideration ensuring you are happy and contented with everything you see. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this Tour but more importantly Akira San as a charismatic guide . We wish you continued success Akira San . Au Revoir!

“Amazing personal experience ”
Michiko was an absolute gem and quite possibly one of my favorite parts of my trip. She takes excellent care of her guests and provides both so much knowledge about the places you go as well as sharing her personal stories about being Japanese. She prepares excellent itineraries and custom binders with concise summaries of stories and history behind the experiences and places. As a one on one guide, she was also very flexible with timing and easily able to accommodate my specific situations. Being late because I lost phone connection did not hamper my tour. She took wonderful pictures of me. She's a great photographer!

Rebecca sam!Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I had such a great time with you! We created so many lovely memories together, thanks to the trust you placed in me. I hope your time in Kyoto will bring beautiful colors to your life for many years to come. I hope we can meet again someday! Michiko
