Reviews

An Amazing Day in Kyoto!

Our group had such an outstanding time with Jasmine. She was extremely kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic during our time together. We began our tour with a visit to Hanami-koji Geisha Street where we had the good luck of seeing two maiko. Jasmine provided a very informative talk on the geisha and the tea houses in Kyoto. Later in the day we visited Yasaka Pagoda Tower, Kiyomizu Dera Temple and Yasaka Shrine. Jasmine did an wonderful job of pointing out the significance of each location. Along the way we stopped for several snacks, including the refreshing pickle on a stick, and a couple of shopping trips to purchase souvenirs unique to Kyoto. Jasmine's knowledge of and her pride in Kyoto made the tour one that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Jasmine!

Wonderful day with Jasmine

We had a fantastic experience on our tour with Jasmine and highly recommend her. Her communication ahead of time was great, and she was incredibly flexible, allowing us to extend our tour to include the Nishiki Food Market. We put in almost 20,000 steps making it to all the sites (and somehow she did all of this without even breaking a sweat!), which was exactly the great, efficient pace we wanted to see a lot. Jasmine guided us through a large variety of temples and landmarks around the Gion area, always knowing the best routes to maximize our time. At the same time, she was flexible enough to allow for shopping and snack breaks for the kids, who really enjoyed having her as our guide. At our request, Jasmine answered all of our questions about Japanese culture and customs, dispelling some myths and helping us be more culturally aware and sensitive. We also appreciated the history she shared at each stop and the great spots she suggested for family photos. If you want a knowledgeable, accommodating guide for the whole family, definitely book with Jasmine.

An Incredible Family Day in Kyoto with Jasmine

Our “Family Day in Kyoto: All the Best Places” tour with Jasmine was unforgettable. She is young, fun, and absolutely overflowing with knowledge about her hometown. Her passion is infectious, she introduced us to foods, places, and cultural insights we never would have discovered on our own. Jasmine is a true professional who takes her role seriously, yet keeps the day light, engaging, and full of energy. She even brought props to help us understand the history and traditions, which made everything come alive. We are so grateful for the experience she created for us. She made Kyoto feel personal and special. Thanks Tammy & Kim
