“A spectacular day!”
Fumi was AMAZING. Good communication leading up to our day made meeting super easy. We stuck to the written itinerary really well but didn’t feel rushed at all. Fumi was always ready to take our picture. My only regret is not asking her to be in one with us. I chose Fumi for a few reasons but one was I figured she would make my teenager the most comfortable. And I was right. She was so easy to get along with. Very knowledgeable and fun. I really can’t say enough good things about her. Fumi made our day in Kyoto the perfect experience we were hoping for

Thank you very much for writing a wonderful review. I'm happy that you and your family enjoyed the tour. It was extremely hot day, but you had a lot of energy to complete the tour. I hope to see you again in Kyoto.

“Great tour with Hiroyuki!”
We had a great tour with Hiroyuki! He helped design a tour to see several of the spots we were interested in, and guided us with a mixture of public transportation as well as taxis. He had a lot of knowledge of each of the sites, and engaged our kids (14 and 11) with questions and facts. He recommended an excellent udon restaurant outside the bamboo forest for lunch! Overall, a great tour and I would highly recommend!
