Tour Important Information
Hello there! Some tips so we all have a great time.
We are going to be walking a lot, so make sure to bring conforable shoes and also be aware of the season, Japan has four of them (spring, summer, autumn and winter) and a rainy season just before summer, you should bring clothing appropiate to the season you are visiting Japan at. If you have any questions about the weather, is it hot? is it cold?, just let me know.
Oh, I know it is shocking but possibly you may have already noticed, there are no trash cans almost nowhere, so you may find interesting bringing a back pack.
The rate of the guides might be of 4000¥ per hour up to 6 travellers.
Up to 7 or 8 travellers it will increase up to 2000¥ per hour.
This tour is a whole day tour, we will be visiting the most emblematic places in Kyoto so that you get a grasp of what Kyoto is really like. Is seeing everything and anything in Kyoto possible in one day? Nope if you want to enjoy it, so make sure to let me know if you are staying more than one day so I can personalize it the better for you.

About Tour Guide Jose david V.
Hello there! I am hoping you're having a great day!!
My name is Jose, born and raised in Spain (Barcelona) and I have been living in Japan for the last 10 years, first it was Hiroshima that I called home, for the past few years it has been Kyoto.
I have a wide knowledge of japanese culture, it's social life and it's manners, as well as the most impressive monuments, streets, parks and temples.
I love the city of Kyoto and all of the wonders it has to offer to the people whom decide to visit it, from the Fushimi Inari temple to the Nijo Castle. It is a surprising city with combines the best of modern day activities with the reminiscence of old Japan.
I would like to share my experience in Japan with you, so you have the greatest experience possible.

“Escapada a Nara”
Ya habíamos utilizado los servicios del guía, así que sabíamos que íbamos a pasar un gran día y así fue! El guía es puntual, flexible con los itinerarios, muy amable y el tiempo pasado juntos fue muy entretenido. Viajamos en familia (con niño de 5 añitos) y él no pudo ser más comprensible y paciente con nosotros. Buscaba a cada momento algún pequeño detalle que mantenga a nuestro niño feliz y conectado con la actividad. Como en previa ocasión, nos dio muchísimas explicaciones e información adicional. Un gran tour de la maño de un gran profesional y aún mejor ser humano! Recomendable a 100%!

Muchísimas gracias, guapísimos! Espero que tengáis un feliz vuelo de regreso a casa y recuerda lo de ese vinito, ese relax y ese baño caliente, baño frío, sauna y repetir. Muchísimas gracias por todo, habéis sido maravillosos. Os deseo lo mejor. Un abrazo a los cuatro.

“Conociendo la ciudad”
Contratamos este tour, para conocer un poco más sobre la ciudad y descubrir de la mano de un buen entendedor los pequeños secretos y las joyas menos transitadas de la ciudad y vaya que así fue! Empezaré con el guía como ser humano. Persona muy puntual, encantadora y extremadamente servicial. Se adaptaba a nosotros en todas nuestras necesidades (tengo movilidad reducida y tenía miedo de si iba a poder estar a la altura del tour, aún siendo privado…). Flexible! A medida que iba pasando el día, se adaptó perfectamente a nuestro cansancio y rápido cambiaba las rutas, para poder disfrutar al máximo el tour, sin perder la salud en el intento! Y el guía como profesional. No voy a exagerar si digiera que de todos los guías con los que trabajamos (tuvimos otros tres, japoneses), fue el que mejor y más abundante y detallada información nos dio. Sobre lo que veíamos en este momento, pero también sobre costumbres de los locales y también consejos para el resto de días de nuestra estancia. Estaba un poquito preocupada de si sabría tanto como un nativo sobre los monumentos, etc., y vaya que iba equivocada! Tanto como un local no. Muchísimo mejor!!! En definitiva, recomiendo muchísimo el guía! Además, los guías en español en Kioto y alrededores no abundan! Es una de las pocas (para mi la mejor!) opciones. Gracias por todo José David,

Assia, muchísimas gracias. Deseo que paséis unos días geniales en lo que os queda por Japón y que al regresar puedas disfrutar de un buen pan con tomate, algo de queso, embutido y todo lo mejor que ofrece esa tierra. Un abrazo muy grande a los cuatro. Si algún día voy por allí, me tienes que recomendar dónde comer ensaimada. Un placer haberos conocido, habéis sido encantadores. Cuídate mucho.
