Great intro tour to Kyoto
Published on May, 2025
Had an awesome experience with Ma-Chan. She was super nice and one of the best English speaking guides we have had in Japan.
We got to see a lot of places in Kyoto and she was able to make way to the crowded spots.
Make sure you have a day pass or a suica card already ready to go to avoid delays
Friendly, approachable and knowledgeable tour guide!!
Published on May, 2025
Kiriko was fluent in English and took time to ask about our priorities for sightseeing in advance. She then shared the itinerary and sought feedback.
She was flexible, knowledgeable and very accommodating.
I highly recommend her!!
Kyoto Temple/Shrine/Shopping Tour
Published on Apr, 2025
Josh Matsumoto was an amazing tour guide! He tailored the experience to our interests and took our starting location into consideration. He planned a well thought out walking tour of Kyoto with excellent break pacing for meals and ice cream. I would highly recommend Josh and our book him again in a heartbeat!
Kyoto private day tour
Published on Apr, 2025
Muchan, our Kyoto guide, was wonderful - lots of great information, both historical and cultural, very helpful, and flexible to adjust to our requests along the way.
I found a friend in Japan
Published on Apr, 2025
The palaces we went and the things we saw were great but the highlight of the tour was our guide Mr Ito. It felt more like hanging out with a good friend than talking a tour. I hope to return to Japan ASAP and definitely look forward to seeing Mr Ito again.
