“Amazing guide - HIGHLY recommend!”

We booked several tours with Lisa - a full day personalised private tour in Kyoto, same again for Osaka, and a half day trip in Osaka to go to Minoh mountain waterfalls. After our first day we were all so glad that we had booked the same guide for the 2 extra tours. Lisa was fantastic. Her english is exceptional. She is very knowledgable and made history and culture stories really interesting and engaging. She has a very calm, patient and positive 'vibe' and we all enjoyed her company very much. She was very curious about Australia and our life as well, so it felt like a beautiful 2 way exchange of information. We were a private group of 5 friends and Lisa engaged with each of us separately and as a group; every one of us highly recomend her. We are hoping she will visit Melbourne sometime soon so we can show her around.

“Full day Kyoto tour”

Lisa was truly wonderful. Her English is excellent and from the beginning she was warm, sociable and very easy to understand. She had a great plan for us but always gave us different options and adapted the day to what we wanted. At every place we visited, Lisa shared interesting and valuable information that really added to the experience. She looked after us so well and was so friendly that very quickly it felt less like being with a guide and more like having a local friend showing us her city. We fell completely comfortable with her and learned so much. We would absolutely recommend Lisa and would happily have her guide us again.

“An Unforgettable and Authentic Kyoto & Osaka Experience with Lisa”

Lisa was an exceptional guide and truly made our 7 days in Kyoto and Osaka unforgettable. She did an incredible job curating our itinerary and tailoring the experience beyond simply visiting tourist sites. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and thoughtful planning gave us a much more authentic understanding of Japan’s culture, history, and local life. What stood out most was her ability to create experiences that felt genuine and personalized. From hidden gems and local insights to food recommendations and cultural context, she consistently went above and beyond to make every day engaging and memorable. She was organized, flexible, and always attentive to our interests and pace. Thanks to Lisa, we experienced Japan in a way that we never could have on our own. We left with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Kyoto and Osaka. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly authentic and well-curated experience.
