“Great tour of Kyoto ”

Mari gave us so much information about Kyoto in 4 hours. A great personality, her English was excellent, so much better than the guide we hired in Tokyo that said he spoke English, but was hard to understand Thank you Marie

“A Fabulous Day in Kyoto with Ayumi”

Ayumi was an excellent tour guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with her. She was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sights we visited and shared so much interesting information along the way. Beyond the sights themselves, we especially appreciated everything Ayumi taught us about Japanese culture and customs. She has a warm, engaging personality that made the entire day both enjoyable and informative. As an added bonus, at the end of our tour Ayumi took us through Gion, including a fascinating visit to a museum in a former geisha dormitory. It was a wonderful and unexpected way to finish the day. It was truly lovely spending the day with Ayumi\. Overall, the experience was fabulous, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, personable, and enjoyable guide in Kyoto.

Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through Kyoto. Since you are such a seasoned traveler yourself, I’m especially honored that you chose to hire me as your guide! I’m so glad you enjoyed our time together, especially exploring Gion and sharing insights into Japanese culture. Thank you again, and I hope you take home wonderful memories of Kyoto! I hope to see you again!! Best, Ayumi

“Thumbs up emoji”

Great tour. Yuka is happy and energetic and managed to get a lot into our half day tour - and took some great photos of us. We customised our tour and It was very easy to send ideas back and forth when doing the booking. She grew up in Kyoto and I liked asking lots of questions about how it has evolved over the years. Would do a full day if we had the time (family of 4).
