Kyoto Tour Reviews
“Marie was amazing!!”
We loved our experienced touring Kyoto with Mari. She went above and beyond and showed us tasty spots to eat lunch and dessert. She was knowledgeable about the area and all the best places for pictures!! She was flexible and open to visiting places around the city which caught our interest- Fushimi Inari was especially fun with her as our guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience

“Marvelous Mari!”
Mari is an amazing guide. We used 5 different guides through go with guide over two weeks and Mari was our guide for Kyoto. She arranged a kimono experience, tea ceremony and shopping in Gion. Prior to our trip Mari communicated with us and confirmed our itinerary. The day of our tour she picked us up promptly at our hotel and we headed to the kimono rental. I really like the place she chose for the rental. It was very clean, the store associates were sweet and helped me pick out the right colors and accessories. After our family got dressed in kimonos we headed out into Gion and she took our pictures. She is a fabulous photographer!!! Seriously, her shots on my phone are all great. After pics we went to the tea ceremony. There were 8 of us at the ceremony, plenty of room to hear the hostess and see the demonstration. I learned a lot about the art of tea making and about matcha. We did some shopping in Gion. Mari was so patient with us as we looked in the stores. She also took us to her favorite ice cream place. I hope to return one day to Kyoto and if Mari is still giving tours I will book with her!
