We had an excellent experience with Fumi as our tour guide in Kyoto. She was able to customise our tour based on our requests. During the tour, she was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city, making the tour both educational and engaging. Fumi was also friendly, patient, and attentive to our family's interests, ensuring everyone enjoyed the experience. Her local insights and personalized tips made our visit even more special. We highly recommend Fumi to anyone looking for a wonderful and authentic Kyoto tour!

“Wonderful family day”
Hiroko was a great guide. Family of 4 with two sons Aged 8 and 10. Great itinerary set by Hiroko. We started at 7am as we are early rises. Hiroko planned all the stops and guided us buying train and bus tickets throughout the day. She was very knowledgeable and super sweet with the boys. Highly recommend Hiroko as a tour guide for knowledge, timing, planning and just a lovely lady.

Shane, I am truly grateful for your kind, generous and very quick review. Thank you very much also for sharing your photos with me. All of you were nice and in a positive mood during the tour even though it was hot and muggy. You make such a great family, and your sons are well-mannered and have sweet smiles on their faces, which impressed me a lot. I really enjoyed your company as a guide in Kyoto. Please send my warmest regards to your beautiful wife and sons for me. All the best, Hiroko
