Kyoto Private Tours

“Wonderful Experience”

My family and I were lucky enough to spend about 3 full days with Masahisa in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. On the date of our arrival in Kyoto, Masahisa picked us up at Kyoto Station, helped us store our bags in the lockers, and then showed us around Kyoto that afternoon. Afterwards, we collected our bags and headed to Nara. The following days were spent exploring Kyoto and Osaka. Masahisa came prepared - he provided us with our customized itinerary and maps of the areas we were to visit (which we carefully planned weeks and months in advance of our trip) for the few days that we were to be together. It was a pleasure having him explain the various cultural aspects of the locations we visited. He is extremely friendly and great to be around; we immensely enjoyed our time with him. You know our days were great and fulfilling when we were very sad to say goodbye. It's clear that Masahisa takes great pride in providing a wonderful and memorable experience for his guests. We cannot recommend Masahisa enough!

“perfect for us!”

Toshiyo is a very kind, organized person who knows how to do his job very well. She knows how to balance time and organize trips in the most efficient way. We spent two wonderful days with her.

“Wonderful enlightening half day tour with Nori”

We just finished a wonderful half day tour with Nori. We learned so much. He knows so much about the history and made it come alive. This is our fifth trip to Kyoto. We have had many guides. Nori was the best! We would absolutely use him again.

It was a pleasure guiding you today. I really appreciate your kind words. It was our lucky day today as well to be able to see the backside of Ninomaru palace for the first time in the history. Being able to compare the replica vs. the real one in the gallery was great for me as well. Thanks so much for taking my tour. Hope to see you two again in 2027! Take care.
