Highly recommend! - This was a great intro to some of Kyoto's top sites. Vincente was an excellent guide -- I honestly couldn't have managed to do everything without his help navigating the city. The info & history he shared at the different stops was just right -- not too much, not too little. Highly recommend.

Amazing Tour with Hiro! - We had an incredible experience thanks to our guide, Hiro! From the very beginning, he was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. Hiro brought every location to life with fascinating historical insights and local stories that made the tour so much more than just sightseeing. He tailored the experience to our interests, was happy to answer all our questions, and even gave us great tips for the rest of our trip.

Book this tour! - I had an amazing tour with Vincent, who is very engaging and fun. He is friendly, and I felt at ease with him straight away - it was like hanging out with a (very knowledgable) friend! I learnt a lot of interesting facts and stories about the places we visited on the tour. I'm really glad I went on this tour with Vincent. I also recommend going for the earliest tour available. Thank you so much 😊 !

Perfect tour!! - This tour was perfect!! Not too long and just the right amount of spots were visited. Vincent was amazing and comprehensive. For a young tour guide, he knew so much about the country and many details about the shrines, temples and Japanese history. ! would definitely recommend.

Insightful and easy Kyoto tour - This tour was a great way to see some of the top highlights of Kyoto! We could have seen these places on our own, but Vincent made the travel so easy and provided us with so much information on these beautiful historic sites. It actually rained quite a lot throughout the tour which meant we got to experience a lot less crowds than normal - a real bonus! Just make sure you check the weather and dress accordingly!
