Reviews

Beautiful Nara

We started our journey in Kyoto with a visit to Fushimi Inari and then continued on to Nara. Ana was again perfect as a guide, she explained the history of the places we visited and told us many other interesting facts.

Dear Zdenek, thank you and your family for your patience, generosity, and the great time in Nara. Your attention and easy-going personality made the tour fun and highly interactive for me. I hope Japan was a wonderful experience for your family. Sending my best regards!

Two great days in Kyoto

Ana was our guide for two days in Kyoto. She taught us a great deal about Japanese history and culture. She made excellent suggestions for meals and photographs and helped us navigate the crowds and the train system. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a guide in Kyoto.
