Old Kyoto Walking Tour with Jasmine

We had so much fun with Jasmine! She provided a fabulous tour of the must see parts of old Kyoto. We had expected an overview with a few landmarks but her tour felt very in depth. She shared history, current culture, food information and all sorts of insights to past and present Kyoto lifestyle. We loved it, and highly recommend!

Jasmine is an amazing friend/guide

Jasmine is friendly, welcoming and funny. She is a must when visiting Kyoto. Her beautiful personality, knowledge and passion for sharing her amazing culture and city goes deeper than just a tour it was a personal, spiritual experience that showed us a multifaceted city filled with tradition history and culture. She has a very big heart and is very caring person, when my daughter felt a bit ill at the end of our tour she helped us find some medication to help her feel well. We will definitely reach out to her in the future for our next trip to Kyoto. Thank you so so much Jasmine.

Fabulous guide on our Temple and Bamboo Forest tour

We had a wonderful day visiting the Temple at Arashiyama along with the Bamboo forest and boat ride. Jasmine, our guide was really knowledgeable and a lovely friendly person who made all of us feel very comfortable. She went above and beyond to provide cultural insights and practical help. We would highly recommend her tour! Juliette
