“Wonderful tour to introduce us to Kyoto”
We were very impressed with our half-day tour with Taka. We were able to see major temples and neighborhoods. Taka is an excellent guide. He was informative and provided context for each site without over loading us with information. I highly recommend this tour.
“Very informative tour”
Our tour with Kazu was excellent, his knowledge was very evident as he explained the various traditions etc. about Japan and the Japanese way of life. Highly recommended. The tea ceremony was excellent.
