“Customised Tour of Kyoto (12 hours)”
I gladly recommend Yoshi. Yoshi provided a full day (12 hour) customised tour of Kyoto for my family. Yoshi was very easy to communicate with and plan our customised tour. He communicated very well prior to the day, and on the day he was very organised and well planned for the itinerary. Yoshi speaks excellent English and at each site we visited, he could explain so much more to us that we would never have known without a guide. Our tour was in July and very hot weather. Yoshi was very patient and flexible with my family and on his recommendation we stopped at a fantastic sushi restaurant for lunch. At the end of a big day, he made sure we stopped and got dinner before dropping us back at our hotel. The car was comfortable and Yoshi was a safe driver. I happily recommend Yoshi. Thank you for a great day.

Thank you very much for your review. It was a very hot day, and I'm sure you were exhausted from walking so much, but I am so happy it was a good memory for your family. Please come visit Japan again!

“Fantastic tour guide”
Yoshi made our day tour at Kyoto the best day we’ve experienced in Japan. We changed our itinerary 10 times at the last minute, and he worked with us to accommodate every change. His English is excellent and our family loved having him take us around for the day. We highly recommend Yoshi.
Yoshiroh N.

Comfortable Kyoto Van Tour (4–7 Guests): See All the Must-Sees, Hassle-Free
Kyoto is beautiful, but walking long distances and moving between sights can be tiring. This tour makes it easy. Ride in a van taxi. While crowds can’t always be avoided, you’ll save time and energy between stops. Visit famous spots like Fushimi Inari, Golden Temple, and Bamboo Forests with your guide who is a Instagram influencer can also take amazing photos of your trip.

"Discover Kyoto's Hidden Treasures Ⅰ: Let’s explore the traditional culture untouched by tourism"
In this tour, I'll take you on a journey to experience the ancient culture deeply rooted in Kyoto, which only locals can truly appreciate, in my car. Kyoto is a basin surrounded by mountains over 900 meters high in three directions. For most of its 1200-year history, it has thrived on this flat basin. However, once you step into the mountains surrounding the area, you'll discover a world that can only be experienced with my tour.
