“Wonderful!”

I am a woman in my 50's and this was my first time travelling to Japan. Normally, this private tour is booked for a group of people who know each other, but since I was a solo traveller and it was not possible for me to join a group, therefore I booked this tour solely for myself. This was a very unique experience for me and it felt truly special. I booked this private tour with my Japanese guide Kanae. She is a wonderful guide and a very kind person, who also communicates very well in English. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, polite, caring and resourceful. It was so great and very convenient to travel from site to site to site with Kanae in her car. She is also an excellent driver and her car is very spacious, clean and comfortable. Touring this way, allowed me to save a lot of time and energy. During this tour, Kanae showed me many amazing places in Kyoto with beautiful architecture and stunning nature. She explained to me the significance of each place and she answered all my questions very well. I had so much fun and I truly enjoyed this private tour with her. Thank you Kanae for making this tour accessible, educational, easy and fun. I will treasure these moments forever. It was perfect for me, especially since I've developed problems with my feet while in Japan and I could not walk as far and for as long as I normally could in the past. I enjoyed having this private tour of Kyoto with Kanae and I highly recommend it. Thank you Kanae!!! Edyta (Canada)

“Wonderful Day”

We had a great day with Kanae. The best description is that it was like being shown around by a family member or old friend we had known for years. She was very organised, making contact in advance to clarify pick up arrangements and ask whether we had questions or requests. She was on time on the day, lovely to talk to, and very knowledgable on the sites visited, with best ways to access, parts to see, and how to avoid crowds (as much as possible).We are pretty quick walkers so finished at all the sites with lots of time to spare so Kanae took us to her favourite local Ramen shop for lunch. Great food and a place we would never have found ourselves - a highlight in its own right. Would definitely recommend and would certainly book with her again if in Kyoto.

“Lovely morning tour”

Kanae O. was a lovely guide. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. She was very responsive to pivoting the original tour to areas we had not seen yet. Her flexibility and pleasant demenour made our time with her wonderful. We saw some big highlights but also some smaller sites that we wouldn't have found without her. We would recommend her as a tour guide. Kathleen
