“Great tour with Toshiyo! ”
We had a wonderful tour with Toshiyo during our visit to Kyoto! She tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to see and was very knowledgeable when we asked many questions. Would recommend booking a tour with Toshiyo when visiting!

Hi Casey, Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing me the kind review. Although it was a very hot day we could walk around Kyoto core town. I hope you can come back again to see more beautiful scenes here. Thank you. Toshiyo

“Una experiencia inolvidable en Kyoto gracias a José!”
Organicé un tour privado en Kyoto para mis padres con José, y estoy inmensamente agradecida por la increíble experiencia que tuvieron. De principio a fin, el servicio fue profesional, atento y profundamente enriquecedor. José no solo tenía un conocimiento increíble de la historia, la cultura y los tesoros escondidos de Kyoto, sino que también fue paciente y atento al ritmo e intereses de mis padres. Esto fue más que un tour: fue una experiencia verdaderamente significativa. Mis padres se sintieron bienvenidos, informados y atendidos en todo momento. Si buscas un guía en Kyoto que combine profundos conocimientos con genuina hospitalidad, no busques más y contacta a José!!!

“Excellent Experience ”
Believe and trust all the high reviews. I am glad I did. Atsuko made my first experience using Gowithguide an incredibly one. She is an amazing guide, very responsive from the start. Extremely organized, helpful and patient. She communicated often throughout the entire experience. Provided an itinerary based on individual interests. Presented a print of the itinerary with pictures the day of the trip. She was very good in explaining the history of each place during the tour. Even at the end she said goodbye by giving a souvenir. Because of this wonderful experience I look forward to using Gowithguide on my future travels. Thank you Atsuko. Arigatō Kindly from Amalia

Hello Ms. Amalia, Thank you for your kind review and comment for me. I really appreciate your words. It was hot and humid yesterday but you were enthusiastic about visiting Kyoto and learning the history and culture there. I was very happy to show you my favorite areas and talk with you. Unfortunately, we could not take Shinkansen. I hope you can take it on your next trip in Japan. Please enjoy the rest of your journey. Thank you. Best regards, Atsuko
