1.5 days of tours of Kyoto with Toshiyo

We had a four hour tour the first day with Toshiyo on Monday and 6.5 hours the second day. We got to everything we were supposed to see and Toshiyo is a very nice person who goes out of her way to help people. We saw everything on our itinerary except for the Fushimi Inari shrine, which we will have to do on our own. The only odd thing on our 7 hour tour is that we didn’t break for lunch. We did ask a couple of times, but went 6.5 hours before stopping for ramen, and everyone was admittedly a little “hangry”. The tour started at 8:30 and finally got some lunch around 3 pm. Both tours were still very good and we would recommend touring with Toshiyo O.

Len B.

Thank you for having me as your guide and writing me the kind review. It was hard to find nice places to eat for lunch on our way without wasting time to visit important sites. So finally I found a place but the place was hard to please your wife. I hope you enjoyed Kyoto very much. Toshiyo

Special day in Kyoto

We would like to thank Toshiyo for spending the day with us in Kyoto. We traveled from opposite sides of Kyoto and saw multiple sights that we wouldn't have been able to accomplish without Toshiyo. It was an impactful day with 15,000 steps worth of sights and knowledge. We would recommend Toshiyo for future travels.

John M.

Dear John, Thank you very much for having me as your guide and the warm hearted review. I appreciate very much. I really hope you enjoyed Kyoto and you will visit Japan with your lovely daughter officer. Thank you. Toshiyo
