“Kyoto Flash”
Hiro is such an amazing guide! He really takes his time to explain all the sites and their history. He even interacted with my son and made learning fun by testing his knowledge. I highly recommend using Hiro to explore Kyoto's main sites in just one day.

“Okay tour for people looking for high structure”
Hiro provided solid factual information on the tour. We were surprised when we were asked by Hiro to pay for his transportation/train/bus fares. We had assumed that this cost was built into the tour rate and would not be extra on the day of the tour. We also like to have some flexibility built into a tour in order to look at little shops along the way or stop for a leisurely cold drink, in addition to tour attractions. If a more structured itinerary is your preference than this guide is a great match.

Dear Tarah K I 'm very sorry I didn't reply sooner. The guide fee of the tour is not including the tour cost. Which means you should pay the cost of the tour such as the transportation fees, your lunch and entrance fees and guide's transportation fees etc. on that day. I should explain a lot about the cost and discuss more about the itinerary. Yours Jul/19 Hiroshi Yokoyama
$166/ per group
