Thank you Alice!

Published on May, 2025

Alice was fantastic. We were so lucky to have her as our guide. The tour was a very small group as we hoped and the early morning tour let us get to sites before they got extremely crowded. It wouldn't have been as fun without Alice. Highly recommended!

This was the perfect...

Published on May, 2025

This was the perfect tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and knew his way around the city. Despite the rain, it was really enjoyable. Our group had a nice mixture to it and we melded well. The guide told us it would be worth walking up the stairs and the view was amazing. Definitely would use your company again.

Fantastic tour with Karim!

Published on May, 2025

We had a wonderful experience touring Kyoto with Karim. He was friendly, easygoing, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His communication was clear and helpful from the start, making the day smooth and enjoyable. Karim shared great insights without ever overwhelming us, and his passion for Kyoto really came through. It felt more like exploring with a local friend than a formal tour. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to experience Kyoto in a relaxed, authentic way!

Great Experience and Loved Turo!

Published on May, 2025

Our tour guide Turo(?) was amazing and made the day so fun and informational! He shared so much information about all of our stops and yet gave us time to explore all of these incredible sights on our own for a bit. We never felt rushed and enjoyed every minute of this day! The group was small enough and loved the other people! Would highly recommend taking this tour whether you are with a group or alone!

Beautiful tour

Published on May, 2025

This was a great tour. The bamboo forest, gardens, and shrines were beautiful. Agustin was a fantastic guide — helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and multilingual. Like the tour description says, this is a lot of walking (wear comfortable shoes); but the pace is good and offers many opportunities for rest.
