About Tour Guide Jasmine L.

“Destination Kyoto”

At age 83, I recently had the wonderful adventure of exploring Kyoto on a three-day personalized tour, spending six hours a day with Jasmine. She crafted a thoughtful itinerary that seamlessly blended local insights with major sightseeing, while easily accommodating new explorations as they popped up along the way. Jasmine skillfully guided me through periods of rain and busy tourist crowds, while always finding the more serene, less-traveled spots. She is fully professional and keenly knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. As a bonus, our lunches were at wonderful drop-in spots with the locals. Most highly recommended!

“Excellent All Around Tour”

Jasmine was an excellent tour guide. It was my small group’s first time in Japan at all and she not only gave us a great tour of Kyoto, but many good recommendations for other things to do on our trip, restaurants in the area, tourist trap identifications, and more. The tour itself was also very informative and great. I certainly recommend booking a tour with Jasmine!

“Lovely Tour with Jasmine”

We enjoyed a five-hour tour entitled "A Family Day in Kyoto" with Jasmine. She guided us to all of the major sights in the oldest part of Kyoto, including the Kiyomizu Dera Temple and the Yasaka Shrine. At the same time, Jasmine educated us on the tradition of Geisha and its importance in Japanese society and in Kyoto especially. Jasmine was sensitive to my wife's hearing issue and took pains to make sure she could hear. She also guided us to a fine restaurant for lunch and helped us shop. All in all, it was a perfect tour.
