Nara Tour Reviews
“Amazing Experience! ”
We had an amazing experience in Kyoto with Yasu as our guide! He is very knowledgeable of the area and an excellent host! We went to Kyoto during the busiest season, however we were still able to see and do so many shrines and temples and all the staples of Kyoto - it is hard to list them all! He was also very accommodating as we had a few last minute changes that Yasu was able to adjust to with no problems! Thank you Yasu for an unforgettable time in Kyoto! A time that we will remember forever!

(15 reviews)Francy, two "Tim"s and Yann Thank you very much for your kind and nice comments for my tour. I am also happy to know that you have enjoyed the ywo days' tours. Although the cherry blossom season in Kyoto was a bit over, I could still show you beautiful Someiyoshino in philosopher's trail and full blossom of late bloom of Omuro cherry in Ninnaji. Being able to see beautiful cherry blossom in Kyoto is really lucky opportunity only in ten days in a year, isn't it? Yasu

“Excellent Tour with Dr. Yasu”
My family and I spent the day with Dr. Yasu who helped us tailor the day to our preference. Even during the day Dr Yasu was super flexible helping us take detours to see things we wanted to see and stop at stores to purchase souvenirs and snacks. Highly recommended.
