“Ahmed - hugely helpful in the face of a big mistake!”
I booked a 1-day Kyoto tour with Ahmed for TWELVE people about 3 months before our trip. Awhile later I changed our arrival date to Kyoto, but forgot to update Ahmed. The night before our scheduled tour, he sent me a message making sure we were set for "tomorrow" .. but we weren't scheduled to arrive until the following day! Long story short... Ahmed went to great lengths to solve the problem, rescheduling the driver and then standing-in himself for the original guide (who was unavailable a day later). Overall -- it was FANTASTIC that he was able to solve this with just a day of notice! we had a fun and interesting day with Ahmed, I would definitely recommend.
“My client had a great time with Ahmed.”
He was my client’s guide in Kyoto and showed them around Gion, Pontocho and Nishiki market areas. They enjoyed the tour very much and appreciated the tips for good restaurants and food from him. Thank you!
