“Fun day with Hiroko”
We had a very fun and educational tour day with Hiroko. Her being local and knowledgeable of Kyoto history makes it worth. She planned the day so nicely and considerably to make sure we are all catered for. We are very happy and I think that people should definitely book tours with local tour guide because it makes a difference to the day without wasting time navigating new area. Hiroko delivered 5 stars service. We recommend her to anyone. Arigato gozaimasu Hiroko san.

“Amazing tour and incredible tour guide!”
I had the pleasure of spending two days touring with Yoshie and I could not have asked for a better experience while visiting Kyoto! Yoshie was extremely knowledgeable of all of the locations we visited, organized, and incredibly efficient with his planned tour. But, I think what impressed me most of all about Yoshie was how perceptive he was to my interests. He quickly identified that I enjoyed visiting the gardens of many of locations we visited and he altered the tour in real time to include more gardens. Yoshie and I also visited a couple of his favorite izakaya's. The food, drinks, and the friendly company are no doubt the highlights of my entire Japan trip. Thank you Yoshie for making my time in Kyoto so memorable! Best Regards Aaron
