Toshiyo was a fantastic guide ! Toshiyo est une guide parfaite !

Toshiyo was great and super organized. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto, and will be able to answer your question no matter what it is about. We loved taking the public transportation and getting around, she will also give you suggestion on what else you could do on your personal time. I highly recommend booking with her !

KYOYO TOUR

Toshiyo O was a knowledgable guide. She is flexible and took us through full day tour on the first day on 24th April and half day on 25th April. She was very efficient and effortlessly taking us from one site to the next with public transport and by walking. my wife was having difficulty walking and Toshiyo was able to tailor the walk. All in all, it was a great experience .
