Kyoto Private Tours

“Great time with Kaz! ”

Taking a tour with Kaz was so informative and fun. She gave us details that we wouldn’t have found out about had we gone on our own. She helped us to decipher our Omikuji, which we got lucky! And she took us to places to eat the local food and learn more about Japanese culture. It was such a pleasure hanging out with Kaz that I hope one day we will meet again. Thank you, Kaz, for making our time so special in Kyoto!

“Fantastic Kyoto Tour with Nori”

We had an amazing experience exploring Kyoto with our guide, Nori. His English was excellent, which made communication smooth and enjoyable. What truly stood out was how well-prepared and knowledgeable he was — Nori could answer every question we had, no matter how detailed. He shared fascinating stories and historical anecdotes about each place we visited, which brought the sites to life in a unique and memorable way. His passion for the city and its culture was truly inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a deeper, more meaningful Kyoto experience!

I am really glad to hear that you were able to enjoy my tour. You had some tough questions but I guess I was able to satisfy them. Those questions make me realize there is a lot more to learn. Thanks again for taking my tour. Take care!

“Experienced Guide Great 2 days including Nara”

We booked Toshiyo for a full day tour in Kyoto, and we went South to vermilion torii gates: fantastic, then west to Bamboo forest, then North to Golden Pavillion: not be missed and finished going west through Gion to Maruyama Park for great outlook over Kyoto. Second day was a day trip to Nara. Deer everywhere and the highlight the Grand Buddha Hall, just awe inspiring. Toshiyo knows her stuff and was well paced tours using public transport. Enjoyed our time with Toshiyo and we would recommend her.
