Early bird is the way to go - Tomoko was wonderful! She explained everything so well and was very understanding and attentive. We have travelled a lot and she was one of the best guides we have had so far.

Wonderful tour and guide! - We had a private tour with Kaz who was just lovely! He told us all about the history of everything we were seeing and made lovely chit chat with all 4 of us (including the kids about Studio Ghibli films). He was a perfect host and also accommodated when we asked to switch the tour around a little. He was just wonderful and we thank him so much!

Absolute must! - We had the best time! Kazuo was very informative and we would have struggled to try and navigate all the public transport needed to go to the major sites. He was extremely personable and a joy to spend the morning with. He also gave us many local recommendations which we appreciated. Highly recommend booking!

Wonderful tour guide - Sumiko-san gave us a typed out itinerary and we enjoyed every part. If you come to Japan in the summer bring a sun umbrella. And there’s lots of walking! Having a Suica card on the smartphone to pay for the local train, bus, and vending machines was so convenient! Sumiko-san was very knowledgeable and knew all the good photo spots. The tour was a great way to get a feel for Kyoto.

Amazing Kyoto - Mihu has been very informative about the places we visited. We were amazed of how beautiful Kyoto was. Its stress free for us since we were just following Mihu our guide on where to get the train and ride the bus and she was on the dot, we didnt have to wait long for our rides.

A Great Touring Experience - We had a great experience. Our guide was lovely and so informative. We went to several sites. We started early as things got progressively crowded as the morning moved on.

Perfect first day in Kyoto! (Especially good if you are up early with jet lag) - Toshi does a good job of providing an overview of the 3 sites included in this tour. We had our IC cards ready and charged up before we started. We are a family of 4 with 2 young adults- the pace was fast but good and we appreciated having a guide to figure out best routes between the locations which are spread out on opposite ends of Kyoto.
