Private guided tour in Kyoto - Our guide Miki Kioka composed and led a wonderful private half-day tour for our family of four including two teenagers. Miki was a very personable and knowledgeable guide to a set of diverse and fascinating sights namely the Golden Pavilion, Nijo-Jo and Nishiki Market. All four of us truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Kyoto experience - We had an incredible full-day walking tour of Kyoto with our guide! She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture. We visited beautiful temples, peaceful shrines, and even explored a vibrant local food market. Her excellent English made everything easy to understand, and she was always happy to answer questions and share interesting stories along the way. It was a perfect way to experience Kyoto, and we highly recommend her to anyone visiting the city!

Fun and informative walking tour of Kyoto - Mariko was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable about the temples, shrines, and neighborhoods of Kyoto, and took lots of great pictures of the two of us. And, since my girlfriend is vegan, she found a great vegan ramen place for us to have lunch. I would wholeheartedly recommend taking her tour.

Our guide, Ai, gave us an unforgettable experience of Kyoto. - Our guide, Ai gave us the best possible start of our Japan trip, by sharing with us her knowledge and passion for Kyoto in a charming way 🤩 She picked us up at our hotel and expertly lead us trough the transport system, which saved us a lot of time and trouble and gave us historical perspectives as well as insights into modern Japan. Also, her English is excellent, which is not always the case with guides.

We visited Kyoto in the most perfect sakura season. We even got pretty paper Sakura our sweet guide had made herself. - Our nice guide had a lot to tell us about the sites, especially interesting was the visit to the golden pavillion. Unfortunately the planning of the order of sites in relation to our hotel failed, so the transports were unnecessesarily long. Suggestion to the guide: use the transports to tell us about Kyoto and Japan.
