“Great guide in Kyoto”

Mike was our guide for 2 days in Kyoto. He met our cruise ship in Kobe on the morning of the first day and dropped us back off at the end of the 2nd day so we never felt like we wouldn’t be able to find our way. He worked with us to design the 2 days. We initially thought we’d spend the 2nd day in Nara but decided to stay in Kyoto. He was very knowledgeable and worked very hard to ensure we saw everything we wanted to. In addition to seeing many sights he explained a lot of Japanese culture and religion to us in a way that made the experience very enjoyable. We highly recommend him.

Marybeth Tight schedule as you had limited time in Kyoto. I'm sure Mark must be so tired from walking a long distance. Although Kyoto City is currently in a state of chaos by overtourism, I am glad that I was able to show you at least one that you could feel good old days of Kyoto. Thank again for visiting us from afar beautiful city and quick-stopover here. Thanks Masahisa

Thank you again for your gracious hospitality in Kyoto. We really enjoyed the tour of Nijo-jo Castle and Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. Wished we had the energy to walk up the hill and enjoy the monkey park - there's always a next time. You have done a great job promoting tourism in your country and welcoming people from all over the world - please continue doing what has been successful for you. The world needs more people like you! We will always recommend you to our family and friends visiting Japan. All the very best!

“East Kyoto ”

We had the most wonderful experience with Mike! He was so informative and gave us lots of knowledge on each location visited. He was patient with us as we made many stops for food and pictures. He made our tour very personal and gave us a very local feel of Kyoto. We enjoyed spending the day with Mike and recommend him to everyone! Trust me if you’re in Kyoto, you must take a tour with him. He will really make your experience much better.
