Had 2 days in Kyoto visiting the popular sites as well as the lesser known sites such as Mt Kurama. Kay is easy going, friendly and knowledgeable. She made my stay in Kyoto most memorable. Thank you. Winston

Hi, Winston. Thank you for taking time and sending me kind feedback. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the 2-days tour. I also had a great time with you such as a quiet coffee shop you found and Mt. Kurama. Kyoto has a lot of off-the-beaten spots with their seasonal beauty other than Mt. Kurama. See you soon. Kay
