“Awesome family tour with Jasmine”
Jasmine was such a great guide. She remained flexible to our family of 5 and adapted the program to our wide variety of ages so we could all enjoy the time spent with her visiting the temples and streets of Kyoto. We learned so many things about Japan and Kyoto while having fun.

“Simply the Best”
We spent two unforgettable days touring Kyoto with Jasmine, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the very start, it was clear she possesses not only a deep knowledge of Kyoto’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but also a rare ability to connect with people in a warm and genuine way. Her English is impeccable, and she communicated every story and cultural insight with clarity, charm, and enthusiasm. Jasmine was always punctual, extremely organized, and effortlessly flexible — adjusting our itinerary as she got to know our interests so that every moment felt personal and thoughtfully planned. She’s also quite a food connoisseur, introducing us to authentic local restaurants and flavors that we would never have discovered on our own. Whether explaining the symbolism behind a temple ritual or guiding us through a tucked-away market, Jasmine’s knowledge, kindness, and passion for Kyoto shone through in everything she did. If you want to truly experience Kyoto — not just visit it — Jasmine is the guide you want by your side. Her professionalism, warmth, and love for her city made our time in Kyoto absolutely unforgettable.
