“Wonderful Day touring Kyoto with Kanae”

My wife and I had the most special day touring Kyoto with Kanae. From the beginning of booking until the end of the tour she made everything easy for us. Kanae was very flexible with our start time which we greatly appreciated. The tour was comfortable and very interesting . We saw so much in our day and now Kyoto is a memory we will not forget thanks to Kanae. Her English is exceptional and her guide style is just perfect. Please do not hesitate to book a tour with Kanae, I guarantee you will not regret it. Thanks - David and Victoria

David and Victoria, thank you so much for your very kind and generous review. I truly enjoyed the tour with you two as well. You two are such pleasant people to spend time with, and I feel truly blessed to have guests like you. I also really appreciate your enthusiasm for the tour and your genuine interest in and understanding of our culture. Your thoughtful questions deepened my own understanding of my culture and Kyoto. I hope I will have the pleasure of guiding you two again in the future.

“Amazing day full of many sights and treats! We will cherish the memories forever!”

From the start, Kanae was so lovely and helpful in helping organise a magical day for our group of 4 (adults and teens) from Australia. Initially there were weather reports that potential snow conditions may affect our plans for the day but luckily she had everything under control. She was in constant contact to update us and was so professional in her approach. Thankfully it was a gorgeous day and we saw many sights yet it felt at a relaxing pace. Kanae was extremely flexible and catered fully to our wish list of attractions/food options/breaks in her clean, comfortable and modern car. She was extremely fluent in English and continually engaged everyone in the group. All of us really enjoyed the tour and she even went out of her way to take us to the best ramen restaurant! We look forward to our next visit to Kyoto and would love to have her guide us again. Thank you Kanae! Hope we can soon meet up again. Xx

Jenny, thank you so much for your generous and kind review. I truly can’t thank you enough. I’m so glad that everything turned out well today, despite the snow alert in the Kyoto area. I really enjoyed your company, as well as the kids, who were a real pleasure to be with. I hope I’ll have the chance to guide you again in the future. Enjoy the rest of your stay!

“Perfect day in Kyoto ”

Kanae was a great guide to work with from the time we first scheduled with her until the time that she dropped us off at our hotel at the end of our tour. She was quick to confirm our tour, and then was great in communicating and seeing what it was that my wife and I wanted to for our day in Kyoto. Her excellent English allowed for even deeper conversation about the sites we went to as well as the culture and history of Kyoto while we drove between the sites we visited. Kanae’s expertise and friendliness ensured that my wife and I made the most out of our limited time in Kyoto, we are both grateful to have had her as our guide.
