Kyoto Private Tours

“Super knowledgeable and patient guide! ”

Thank you to Hiroko! Instead of just wandering around, we got to learn a lot from a local! Hiroko is really pleasant company. My daughter made it through a full 5 hour tour, which says a lot! Hiroko was patient with our frequent snack stops and rest stops. We had great conversation about local culture and she had great stories to tell about the historical sights. She deftly navigated us on trains to three temples. She is flexible with booking, and responsive on messages. I very highly recommend booking time with Hiroko! Thank you!!

Sarit, I am truly grateful for your kind and generous review. I also thank your beautiful daughter for keeping up with me during the tour. All of you are so nice and intelligent, I really enjoyed being your guide in Kyoto. Please send my warmest regards to your husband and daughter. All the best, Hiroko

“Wonderful Guide”

Nori was very informed and accommodating. He organized our walking tour based on my interests and helped organize my sightseeing the day before the tour. He provided lots of interesting insights, both cultural and historical along the way. He even helped me find a kimono wrap! I would recommend Nori very highly.

Thanks for your kind words! It was a lot of fun for me as well exploring Kyoto together. Hope the pictures I took are almost as good as those you get from Seoul ( : It was not so easy to find the kimono for you but lucky my kimono god helped find it!! Have a safe flight back home!

“Yuta is the man!”

We had an incredible experience touring Kyoto with Yuta. He was warm, friendly, and went out of his way to tailor the day to our interests. His deep knowledge of the city added so much depth to the experience, and beyond that, he was just genuinely fun to spend time with. It felt more like exploring with a friend than a tour guide. We strongly recommend Yuta to anyone looking to truly enjoy and understand Kyoto — you won’t be disappointed!
