“1 day Kyoto tour ”
I highly recommend Takashi as a guide for Kyoto, he was extremely professional, accommodating and informative. He took us to all the main spots and patiently explained everything very well. A really great guy and a must for any visitors or families looking to explore Kyoto.

“Tour in Deutsch”
Wir, 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder aus Österreich, hatten einen großartigen Tag und können die Tour mit Yuta nur wärmstens empfehlen. Seine Kenntnisse haben uns selbst bei den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten geholfen immer wieder abseits der Menschenmassen diese in Ruhe zu genießen. Die Kinder waren auch immer gut unterhalten. Danke Yuta!

Thank you so much for the great feedback, Michael! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the kids had fun as well. I hope you have an amazing time in Kyoto and take home lots of wonderful memories to Austria. By the way, I’ve been practicing the Austrian German phrases your family taught me, such a fun memory! Maybe our paths will cross again someday, I’d love that! Best wishes! Yuta

“Couldn’t Imagine Kyoto Without Yoshie ”
Yoshie was the sweetest man, who won our hearts when he gave my daughter origami his wife made for her to start the trip. We saw so much in 1 day, and his “Golden Route” efficiently hit all the stops we wanted. He has great knowledge of Japan’s history and culture, and he knew the best spots to get brilliant photos. He also took us to a superb restaurant for lunch we wouldn’t have found on our own. He had energy in spades and you could tell he loves his tour guide work.
