Local Guide the Best - Fantastic tour of Nishiki Market and Mariko definitely had the knowledge of which stalls were the best to try. Great to have such local knowledge of the local area, as well as knowing what prices were acceptable. Bonus for the great coffee location 🤩

An interesting, beautiful day in Kyoto with an excellent guide - Mariko was a first-class professional guide in Kyoto. She told us a lot about the history of Kyoto and its sights. The time with Mariko was very entertaining and really interesting. Since she grew up bilingual, her English was great to understand . A beautiful and interesting day in Kyoto.

An unforgettable Kyoto experience with an AMAZING guide! - Our private Kyoto tour was an absolute highlight of our trip! Our guide, Yoshifumi, was incredibly kind, fun, and made the whole experience feel personal—especially special for me and my fiancé. He showed us beautiful shrines, temples, and markets we never would have found on our own, and everything was perfectly paced. He also went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs and took us to an amazing lunch spot that was both stunning and delicious. It truly felt like exploring with a friend. We would 100% book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Amazing guide - Sachi did an amazing job at guiding us through Kyoto. She helped us adjust the itinerary to our needs and she explains different temples and shrine for us. She even got me to try one of her favourite sweet treat and it was delicious. Train stations is very overwhelming so we get a little stressed. Sachi is very fast for a little lady hahahaha but she’ll always look back to make sure you are still there. 10/10 would recommend her.

Loved our every footstep in Kyoto - It was a wonderful day tour with Mariko. She kept the day lively and engaging. She took us through streets of Kyoto, shrines and clicked beautiful picture of us. She also helped us try Japan foods and snacks. It was worth trying and worth every step we took on the entire day. Thank you Mariko, you were so great for us!
