I had a great time with Eric-san who showed me around town in Kyoto and Nara. He is a wise and excellent tour guide, who knows a great deal about the history and culture in the area. I am certain any visitors to the beautiful cities of Kyoto and Nara will enjoy their experience with Eric-san. He will sometimes tell you jokes and hilarious stories involving everyday life in the city. Regards David
