“Amazing Kyoto Tour with Rick”
I had an amazing full day Kyoto tour with Rick. We visited Golden Temple, Honnoji temple, Heian Shrine, Kiyomizu-dera temple, Sannen-Zaka, Ninnen-zaka and sutes relating to Ryoma Sakamoto and the Shinsengumi. Rick is very kind, knowledgable and willing to accommodate any changes in the tour. I certainly had a wonderful time in Kyoto thanks to his guidance and I would definitely use him again in future.

(56 reviews)Dear Alex, Thank you very much for the nice review! I'm very glad that you enjoyed the tour. Actually I like Japanese history very much and the sites you requested which relates Ryoma Sakamoto or Shinsengumi were exactly what I wanted to show to the history lovers. So I had enjoyed the tour with you, too and had a very nice time. I hope you will come back to Kyoto sometime in future for enjoying other more historical sites. Best regards, Rick

“Personal concierge ”
Rick guided us around some of the hidden jewels in Kyoto for 2 full days. He was very flexible as I only gave him our wish list the night before but he planned both days so we would have enough time to see everything on the list. With his expert knowledge of the train, subway and bus systems - we were able to visit four destinations each day with enough time for a delightful lunch in quaint local restaurants. He was knowledgeable about our destinations and shared the history and importance of each one along the way. Rick was so very kind, polite and knowledgeable and made both days most enjoyable. Thank you Rick for being a great guide and helping us learn so much about Kyoto.
