“Make sure you book with Jasmine”
What a lovely young lady! She was so knowledgeable and graceful! We were so lucky to have Jasmine as our guide. She knew all about Geisha culture, how to pray at Shinto shrines for our business success and great spots for eating/drinking after she left us. We had such a wonderful time seeing what makes Kyoto a very special place.

“Goin with Jasmine ”
Jasmine speaks almost perfect English. She emailed me a number of times before the tour to make sure we knew where to meet etc. She provided history and explanations that were very clear and she spoke loud enough that all 5 of us could hear what she was saying ( not true of some other guides). At the end of the tour she helped us find a bar we were looking for and made a great dinner recommendation. We liked her a lot!

“Old Kyoto Walking Tour with Jasmine”
We had so much fun with Jasmine! She provided a fabulous tour of the must see parts of old Kyoto. We had expected an overview with a few landmarks but her tour felt very in depth. She shared history, current culture, food information and all sorts of insights to past and present Kyoto lifestyle. We loved it, and highly recommend!
