Kyoto Tour Reviews
“abundant day”
our experience with yuta was really well! he was able to flex the itinerary regularly to include different sights to see, i highly recommend yuta when seeing the temples and shrines or any sights purely because he took us to these places and spots where it wasn’t as crowded. he was able to make us a video and continuously took photos of us (a choice we got to make) i enjoyed listening to his stories and talking with him, he was very interested into hearing about my birth country and how different it is here in japan. i recommend yuta as a tour guide ! he was very patient and led us to all the best spots easily with no hesitation, i really do recommend him
“Beautiful day in Kyoto”
I went with Yuta on a 7 h Kyoto sightseeing and it was really worth going with him! It was a very busy day, and to avoid the crowd Yuta always found the way (secret entrance)! He knows a lot about japanese culture and history and is happy to tell it. He speaks also fluently german! Great day with Yuta!

(14 reviews)Hello, Nika!! Thank you for signing up for my tour. We spent a day touring around Kyoto a lot. The story you talked about the Croatian soccer player was very interesting and I had a lot of fun because it was a story I didn't know. I'm glad you enjoyed your time at all of the tourist spots. Please let me know the next time you come to Japan with your family. thank you!!
“Great tour on the Kyoto Highlights with our little kids”
Yuta has been a great guy who has taken care of the needs of our family with two little kids. He managed to create a memorable day for us. His German language skills are impeccable. He offered plenty of options to choose on when on the road. Highly recommend for your trip to Osaka for any casual sightseeing tour.
