“Fun and Informative Start to First Day In Kyoto”
We arrived in Kyoto late morning and met up with Robert at our hotel. First stop after we walked through the humungous Kyoto train station was a small Mochi seller, with by far the best mochi treats on our entire trip. We walked our way over to Nishiki Market, as well as the Geisha section and ended our afternoon at Maruyama Park and Yasaka Shrine. Robert was very accommodating and flexible with his schedule as well as extremely knowledgeable about the area and all the food and shopping options. A great way to start a visit to Kyoto.

“Disappointed”
Disappointed we did not do the itinerary we paid for. We did not get to walk the bamboo forest path or visit Inari Fushimi. We were bundled into a taxi at the end of the tour and left to our own devices despite paying for being accompanied back to the cruise port. Unfortunately, this tour guide wanted to do what he wanted rather than what we had asked and paid for.
Robert K.
Hello Karin, I am so very sorry that you were disappointed with the tour. When I picked you up from the harbour – which was a very special service on my part, as I do not normally offer this – I had discussed the itinerary with you in detail on site before we took the taxi. So I thought everything is fine. When we got to the bamboo forest, I thought it would be far too crowded to walk through. I was a bit too worried so I choosed a slightly different route instead. From now on, I will make sure to ask and check even more carefully so that something like this does not happen again. I am constantly learning from my mistakes and striving to improve as much as I can. I would like to apologise sincerely once again. I do hope, however, that all in all you had a good time in Kyoto.
