Memorable day in Kyoto

Published on Sep, 2024

Memorable day in Kyoto with Megumi our guide. She was knowledgeable, polite and a good communicator. This was my first time in Kyoto and I totally recommend it.

See all the major sights in just one day

Published on Jul, 2024

My wife and I only have 3 days in Kyoto and opted for this tour because of the effort planning would otherwise take. Our guide, Masako, was an absolutely delightful, funny and extremely knowledgeable lady who combined her knowledge of Kyoto history with her charming sense of humour and kept us engaged throughout. The tour has a fair amount of walking, which can get uncomfortable in the Japan summer. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and pack an umbrella. Otherwise, you canā€™t beat the convenience and planning that goes into taking this tour. Thank you in particular to Masako, an absolute sweetheart of a tour leader.

Megumi is a very good...

Megumi is a very good tour guide. She engaged me and my family very well. She is very informative and explained things very well. I would highly recommend this tour to all my friends and family.

One of the best tours I have been on

Published on Jul, 2024

Our tour guide Meg was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and made this tour one of the best I have been on. We were travelling with teenage boys and even they loved it. Truly a great experience and I would highly recommend.

Awesome tour guide MASAKO

Published on May, 2024

Our experience was truly incredible. We explored countless breathtaking places, each leaving us in awe. Masako, our guide, deserves an abundance of stars for her exceptional service. Her kindness and wealth of knowledge about every corner and historical detail of Kyoto made our journey unforgettable. We wholeheartedly loved every moment of it.
