Kyoto Tour Reviews

Koichi was a wonderful and thoughtful guide!

We truly enjoyed Koichi guiding us thru Kyoto. He was a wealth of information. If you want to discover Kyoto and learn all about it’s history and the meaning behind everything, you need to have Koichi guide you. His hidden talent is photography!! He made wonderful pictures of us to remember this memorable day! Thank you so much Koichi for a wonderful experience. We will come and visit again.

Hi! Thank you for giving me such a nice rating and heartwarming comments. I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful couple. Though our time together was brief, I am genuinely happy we shared such a delightful time. I hope we can meet again in the near future. Please do visit my hometown of Shiga next time. Arigato-gozaimasu!! Koichi

Jasmine is an amazing friend/guide

Jasmine is friendly, welcoming and funny. She is a must when visiting Kyoto. Her beautiful personality, knowledge and passion for sharing her amazing culture and city goes deeper than just a tour it was a personal, spiritual experience that showed us a multifaceted city filled with tradition history and culture. She has a very big heart and is very caring person, when my daughter felt a bit ill at the end of our tour she helped us find some medication to help her feel well. We will definitely reach out to her in the future for our next trip to Kyoto. Thank you so so much Jasmine.

A true guide for Kyoto

Yuka was an amazing host who was genuinely excited to share the secrets of Kyoto and Japanese culture. Her knowledge, insight, and love for her city showed again and again throughout the day. She can create an itinerary from scratch, thoughtfully modify a premade one, or offer excellent suggestions on the best places to visit. She’s helpful, kind, and incredibly easy to get along with. Yuka truly embodies what a great guide should be. My wife, hands down wants to book her again on our next visit. Consider Yuka as your guide for the area. There will be no disappointments.

Thank you so much for having me as your guide. It was my pleasure to be the guide for your first visit to Kyoto and truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the day with me. You both were very kind and nice to me and I had such a great time with you and your wife. Thank you so so much for taking your time to write a review. I'm flattered and honored to receive such a fantastic review from you. I'll be looking forward to seeing you again on your next visit! Thank you again and thank you for the oyster lunch!

Private Tours in Kyoto

Unlock the mysteries of Kyoto with a local tour guide! From temples in Gion to lush gardens in Arashiyama, discovering Kyoto’s global appeal is one click away.

Ready to cool off from the day’s heat and high activity? Book a tour to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a mesmerizing forest of towering bamboo stalks. While a popular destination, private tour guides can lead you off the beaten path to explore lesser-known trails and rest stops, allowing you and your travel team to escape the crowds and rest in the peaceful ambiance of the grove.

Beyond the visual appeal, your Kyoto tour guide can share stories about the significance of bamboo in Japanese culture overall, and help you gain appreciation for Arashiyama's natural beauty in a more intimate way.
