“More Than a Tour Guide — A Wonderful Friend in Kyoto”

This was our second tour with Ayumi after having such a wonderful experience with her in Osaka, and once again she made our day incredibly special. From the beginning, Ayumi was warm, patient, thoughtful and so easy to spend time with. She was especially lovely with our children and always made sure they felt included, comfortable and happy throughout the day. Travelling around Kyoto can feel a little overwhelming at first, but Ayumi patiently showed us how to use the transport system and helped us understand how to get around more confidently on our own. One of the highlights was a hidden gem matcha shop that she introduced us to. We would never have found this place by ourselves, and the matcha ice cream and matcha latte were absolutely delicious. It felt like a much more local and special experience than simply visiting the usual tourist spots. Ayumi also took us to a fantastic duck ramen restaurant, which became another memorable part of our day. The food was delicious and everyone in our family really enjoyed it. We loved that she shared places with us that felt personal and authentic. What made the tour truly special, though, was Ayumi herself. She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely kind, caring and thoughtful. After spending time with her in both Osaka and Kyoto, she no longer felt like just our tour guide — she felt more like a friend. We are so grateful that we had the chance to meet Ayumi during our Japan trip. She made our experiences in Osaka and Kyoto so much more meaningful and memorable, and we will always remember the wonderful time we spent together. Thank you so much, Ayumi, for taking such good care of our family and for giving us such beautiful memories of Japan. We would happily recommend her to anyone visiting Osaka or Kyoto and would love to see her again on a future trip.

Yuta is an excellent guide and I highly recommend him. His English was very, very good. He is very knowledgeable and shares good stories, history, and tips. He is very flexible and will plan a day around what you want to do, plus make great suggestions. He is also fun. You won't go wrong with him! Stop looking and book Yuta.

Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm really happy you chose Japan as your anniversary trip destination. It was a pleasure to be part of such a special journey. Your stories about San Francisco made me want to go there! I was also impressed by your energy during the tour. You definitely have twice as much as me! Enjoy your last two days in Japan, and I hope to see you again someday!
