“Kyoto Tour”
Marcelo was easy to communicate with as I was trying to figure out how to make the most of our time in Kyoto. He put together a custom tour and even added in some unexpected highlights as he got to know us throughout the day. Although he was not born in Japan, he had great knowledge of the country and culture.
