A morning in Kyoto - ⸻ We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide Remi in Kyoto. Despite the city being incredibly busy, he skillfully led us to quieter spots that still captured the beauty and culture of the area—allowing us to truly enjoy the atmosphere. His knowledge of Kyoto’s history, traditions, and landmarks was exceptional, and he shared it in a way that was both informative and engaging. What stood out most was how thoughtfully he included everyone in the group, taking the time to understand our individual interests and tailoring the experience so that everyone felt involved and valued. A truly professional and thoughtful guide—highly recommended.

Best thing we did in Japan - Tom was excellent. His English was first rate and his knowledge of Japanese culture and history was enormous. His love and passion for Kyoto was infectious. Our teen boys were totally absorbed by his knowledge and explanations. Could not recommend this enough.
