Kyoto Private Tours

“Excellent local guide! So Amazing”

Koichi was born in this area and lives here too. He knows all the amazing places. Today he personalized the tour to our requests. He is so flexible and very patient! We have several days booked with him and each day keeps getting better and better! So, in our book he needs 6 stars today! Today we requested to go to Nara but really we wanted to spend half the time at Uji to get matcha. so we shortened our Nara tour and we went to Uji, he showed us the top stores to get matcha. We really felt like a local today because we spent a lot of time in smaller stores and we hit the highlights in Nara. Koichi is also teaching us a little Kanji. He makes history exciting and we are just enjoying all his mini information lectures. It's not overwhelming. He knows his way around which is awesome. He has a great sense of humor too which makes everything so fun. Thanks for another amazing day Koichi.

“Two Days in Kyoto”

We had the incredible privilege of spending two days in Kyoto with Mana as our guide, and it truly made our trip unforgettable. Mana is everything you could hope for in a guide—exceptionally knowledgeable, warm, thoughtful, and deeply passionate about her city. She brought Kyoto’s history, culture, and traditions to life in a way that was engaging, accessible, and deeply enriching. Beyond her professionalism, Mana is simply a joy to be around—kind, and genuinely caring. By the end of our time together, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. If you're visiting Kyoto, do yourself a favor and book time with Mana. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of the city and memories that last a lifetime. Thank you again for two wonderful days Mana!

Dear Ralph I was truly delighted that you entrusted me with the Kyoto tour for your beloved parents and that you gave such a high-rated review. I'm relieved to hear that they returned safely to your home country after their long journey. Although it unfortunately rained on the second day, they enjoyed interacting with people around them while using various forms of public transportation. Their genuine interest in history and culture, as well as their willingness to actively engage and try new things, made the tour a valuable learning experience for me as well. Two days are simply not enough to fully experience Kyoto. I sincerely hope all of you will come back to Kyoto again and again! Thank you Mana
