“ Friendly tour guide to get you through all your Kyoto sites ”

Our guide, Kazuhiko-san, has great presence and energy. We had 2 jam-packed days of sight seeing and he made sure we got through it all in a timely fashion. He's a fast walker and attentive to keeping the group together. He was prepared with a little information to share about each site and even had printed materials for a few. He is cheery, personable, patient and is eager to try and answer any questions you may have. We would book again!

Hello, Thanks for the nice review. I had a great time as well. But I walked you all quite a bit. I think you were tired. I apologize for that. Thank you also for the nice gifts and other things. I am very happy. I hope this tour will be a memorable one for you. I hope you will come back to Japan again. Thank you very much !!
