“10/10 stars!”
Jasmine was an AMAZING TOUR GUIDE! We spent two weeks in Japan and she was one of the highlights of our trip. She was fun, knowledgeable, and comfortable in leading us through a really comprehensive and thoughtful tour of Kyoto. I would recommend Jasmine as a tour guide to anybody—she was so personable and it made our whole day so much fun. 10/10 stars for Jasmine!!! We miss you and hope you come to visit California soon!!!

“Day in Kyoto”
We had so much fun on this tour! Jasmine was a great guide. She customizes the experience based on your preferences and accommodated our diet restrictions. She’s very knowledgeable on the locations we went to and she also brought us to some hidden gems less known to tourists. I will book her again next time I’m in the area!

“Old Kyoto/ Gion stroll”
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jasmine was a wonderful guide, her knowledge of Old Kyoto and all things geisha was incredible - we came away learning so much. Jasmine was very patient and happily took lots of photos for us. We even got to see a Maiko! Would definitely recommend Jasmine as your guide. Our kids really took to Jasmine - very warm and kind. She also recommended an awesome restaurant in Pontocho Alley after our tour ended.

Enjoy Nintendo for Kids and Gamers
Kyoto is famous for its temples and shrines. If you go with kids, it's hard to have an interest in history for kids. Kyoto has Nintendo headquarters. If you are a fan of Nintendo games, I recommend this tour of places related to Nintendo, led by a storyteller. We will drop by Pokémon Center, the Nintendo Shop, and the Used Toys Shop. You can enjoy shopping also.
