“Tagalog-Friendly Half-Day Kyoto Tour”
We were a group of six, including two older parents, and our Tagalog-speaking guide made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. She kindly opened up her schedule for us since we’re kababayan, and from the start, she was warm, professional, and super accommodating. During our visit to Fushimi Inari Taisha, she gave our parents the option to relax and shop around the base while the rest of us hiked up to the top of the red torii gates. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, no matter the pace. She also took great photos for us and answered all our questions with ease—switching between Tagalog, English, and Japanese like it was second nature. The tour felt personal and relaxed, with just the right balance of history, local insight, and flexibility. Highly recommended, especially for Filipino travelers looking for a guide who truly understands your language and culture.

“Arashimaya & kinkakuji tour ”
Very knowledgeable about our tours. Very willing to adjust according to our needs as a senior. Willing to take our pictures. Very accommodating to our needs. We never realized that the tour is a walking tour. Too hot on summer.

“Had a wonderful day with Maricel”
Maricel is a great tour guide and person. She is kind and caring and very knowledgeable of Japanese culture and history. I learned quite a bit. We endured 95deg heat while touring the sites. I will definitely book more trips with her in the future.
