Kyoto Tour Reviews
“Wonderful days in Kyoto. ”
We spent 3 wonderful days in Kyoto with Mitsuyuki-san as our guide. He is a very careful driver. His car is spacious, clean, comfortable and it has AC. Mitsuyuki-san is very prompt, efficient and very flexible. He drove us where we wanted, stopped when we wanted and changed schedule as we wanted. Because of him we were able to see Ine no Funaya. Mitsuyuki-san is very knowledgeable, provided us with a lot of info. I can keep writing but I agree with all the other 5 star reviews. We appreciated having him as our guide in Kyoto and we highly recommend him.
