“A lovely day filled with history and flexibility!”
Jasmine did a great job of communicating ahead of time all the logistics and answered all my questions. During the tour she was very knowledgeable and super friendly. We have younger children who aren’t from a walking city so Jasmine altered the day to fit the needs of our family. It was a wonderful tour and we highly recommend Jasmine!

“Jasmine is incredible!”
There are so many things to say about our tour, but let's start with what a wonderful person and guide Jasmine is. She is very personable and conscientious of your needs throughout the day, which is a long one and requires a lot of walking/stairs. It's impossible to see Kyoto in full in a single day, but the places you visit with her are perfect. The market is vibrant and full of food/ware vendors, and without her we'd have been lost or sucked into a tourist trap or ten. She cruises through it expertly and gets you to THE spots, some of which are quite unique. The information she provided about Gion and geisha history was just enough without the endless droning of a history professor that some guides pretend to be. The temple visits are great, but there are hidden gems she takes you to that make the tour that much better with fewer crowds. At the end of the day, she even bought us a gift and gave us dining recommendations! It was such a great tour; we highly recommend it, and I'd give Jasmine 10 stars if I could.

“Excellent day with Jasmine”
We had a wonderful time with Jasmine. Despite rain and jet-lagged kids, Jasmine was great in showing the key sites, and finding sugar and coffee breaks. Highly recommended!
