Kyoto with Miyo - Our family of 8 had an outstanding time exploring Kyoto's temples and markets with our guide, Miyo. The highlight of the day was a traditional Geisha Tea Ceremony. Miyo was wonderful with her knowledge and we are so grateful for her extra personal touch given to our family of making paper cranes.

Outstanding and highly recommend! - Amazing!! Highly recommend for private tours. We were traveling with children and had only 2 days in Kyoto. Omakase helped plan the perfect one day itinerary for us that was customized to visit our top sites. The communication before and during the tour were outstanding. They took the time to confirm every detail. Moreover, our private tour guide Miyo was the BEST!! She was knowledgeable and personable. I loved her ability to be flexible when it started to rain to ensure that we saw the perfect sites before the rain and during the rain. I highly recommend requesting Miyo. She also had all sort of fun ideas to keep our kids engaged and lots of wonderful recommendations. Her communication was great and we loved spending the day with her. Also, our driver was outstanding too. He was always available for us and expertly navigated us to all the sites. Thank you and look forward to returning to Japan soon!

One day walking and taxi tour of Kyoto - We had an amazing day with Michiko. She was extremely knowledgeable in the history of the places we went to see. Lunch was a lovely dining experience. Michi explained the menu to us perfectly.
We were blown away with the sites and views.

A great visit to Kyoto and Nara with Sachiyo Oguchi - Sachi showed us the highlights of Osaka, Kyoto and Nara on separate day tours using a combination of trains, busses and taxis in late October. She is friendly, interesting and knowledgeable. All our visits were well-organised and adapted, as required, to accommodate one of us with mobility issues. At the end of the day, she made a point of giving us many good suggestions about where to eat in the evenings. It was a delight spending three and one-half days with Sachi. We highly recommended her.

Thank you Miki - What a pleasure to meet and have Miki host my family and I as a guide for a day in Kyoto. We had such a wonderful time exploring Kyoto. She was delightful company, professional and very informative. We are so glad our first day in Kyoto was spent with Miki as she gave us such confidence to explore this beautiful city by ourselves for the rest of our stay. Thank you Miki!.

The sites of Kyoto - Visiting Nijo castle, though extremely busy was fantastic. The paintings are breathtaking and wonderful. The gardens at Kinkaku-ji are simple breathtaking and the autumn leaves were just starting to work their magic. Ginkaku-ji is also very wortha visit as the “temple” is original and very sombrely beautiful. The views are wonderful.
By the timie we got to Kiyomizu-dera the light was failing but it is such an amazing place and a great way to finish a tour. Thank you Miki for taking us around.

Enjoyable Trip in Kyoto - We were lucky to meet Aki, our tour guide. There were only us on that tour. Aki was accommodating and helpful when we asked questions along the way. She understood when we requested halal/vegetarian food only and put effort into that request, which not all tourist guides can follow.
She is also well-equipped with information and the history of Japanese culture.
The only suggestion we would make is that she improve her English for better communication in the future.
Other than that, it was a pleasant tour.
