“Thank you Koki”
We booked Koki for a full day of sight seeing in Kyoto and had a wonderful time with Koki who was able to show us around easily and provided a good balance of fun and information for both us and our two young children. Thank you Koki, you made our holiday in Japan and into Kyoto a highlight and would definitely recommend anyone to book Koki!

“Kyoto with Koki”
Kyoto with Koki was a rewarding experience. He explained what we were going to see and how we were going to get there.Buses ,train and subway.He took us to many temples ,shrines and japanese gardens and gave us a brief knowledge of what we we had come to see with little extras along the way.we had lunch a traditional japanese restaurant and he explained what we were eating which made the experience more enjoyable. If you book Koki as your guide you will not be disappointed,he can tailor it to your needs. We wish to thank him again for a memorable day in kyoto we will never forget.

Hi Andrew Thank you very much for taking part in my tour today. I am very grateful for your kind words of praise. Today's tour was a bit rushed, but I hope I was able to show you some of Kyoto's wonderful places. Kyoto is a place where you can enjoy different aspects of spring, summer, autumn and winter. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit us in the cherry blossom season. Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future. Thanks & Regards Koki
