Kyoto Private Tour Guides

“Naoki is five stars”

Naoki was a fantastic guide who custom built a plan for our family with what we wanted to see. He was open to last minute changes and so knowledgeable in Kyoto history. Would absolutely recommend him as a guide!

“Amazing Kyoto Tours”

We spent 2 days and an half and with had an absolutely wonderful experience with Masahisa! From the very beginning, even before we arrived in Japan, he was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, helping us with every detail and even giving us valuable tips for the other cities we are still going to visit. In Kyoto, he took us beyond the usual tourist spots and showed us places we would never have discovered on our own. It made the experience feel much more authentic and special. What impressed us even more was his energy and enthusiasm throughout the entire day — despite his age, he kept an amazing pace and was always engaged, kind, and genuinely caring. He made us feel completely looked after at all times and his warmth and dedication really stood out. We would absolutely recommend him to friends and family visiting Japan. Thank you for making our Kyoto experience so memorable!

Teresa Thank you for visiting Kyoto all the way from a country, rich in beautiful stone architecture, charming Old Towns, and UNESCO World Heritage sites, I felt especially grateful that you chose to travel such a long distance to experience Japan. Your country was the only one in Europe that I missed the opportunity to visit during my active career. However, I heard from staff members who did visit your country about its unique cultural heritage, its historic cities, artistic stone carvings, and warm atmosphere has always impressed me, and it was a pleasure to share the traditions and history of Kyoto with guests from such a remarkable country. The way bamboo groves gently teach us about the harmony between couples has been very meaningful to me, and I hope it may offer you a little inspiration as well. Wishing you both continued success in your medical careers and happiness in your travels. Thanks Masahisa

“Amazing experience with Akira”

We simply had an amazing day with Akira as first time visitors of Japan. We had a few locations we wanted to visit in Kyoto, like the Monkey Park, and Akira was able to take us to those places and be a tremendously fun and informative guide throughout it all. He even recommended his favorite local ramen place where we had a fantastic lunch. We will look back on our visit to Japan with great fondness and a wonderful memory in Kyoto, thanks to Akira. He will turn a good trip great, and a great trip unforgettable.
