“Perfect first day in Kyoto”

Mari provided us an experience that made for a perfect day for our first day of our first trip to Kyoto. There is so much to do, see and learn in this large and fascinating city. Her expert skills as a guide, knowledge of Kyoto history and her English language fluency were invaluable to help us through the day. She allowed us to go at our on own pace, yet she had a logical plan to keep us on track. She has such a nice personality and is full of positive energy. It was a pleasure to spend the day with her. We definitely recommend her!

“Perfect day in Kyoto”

We had a wonderful tour with Mari. Before we started the tour we had a calligraphy course in an old house where we learned how to write our names in Japanese. After that we had a fantastic tour through the old town, Temples and. Shrines. Nice Lunch and lots of information about people and country. Mari is the best and we can only highly recommend her.
