“very nice tour”

The best part was that Toshiyo offered to do the tour with her car (we paid parking and gas) which made the tour so much easier and faster and we could see more in less time. very recommended. The tour was informative with history but we missed some current japan information in addition or some cool facts and stories. In general was a good tour.

Dear Immanuel Thank you for your review. I am sorry to know you have not been satisfied although we visited five places on 1 st day and 5 places on 2nd day. I hope Chiero has recovered fully and she and Lorenza and Paolo enjoyed Kyoto tours. And thank you for the tasty chocolate fro Italy. Toshiyo

“Kyoto private tour with Toshiyo”

Toshiyo met us at our hotel and took us by train to Arashiyama to visit some temples we had requested, she speaks very good English and her knowledge of the Kyoto transport system helped us to see everything we wanted and more. Thank you Toshiyo from Paul and Sue.

Toshiyo O.

Thank you for your kind review. We could visit the most pretty temple gardens in Arashiyama . I hope to see you again in spring. Toshiyo
