Great time in Kyoto

Published on May, 2025

Christine is the best guide we have had in Japan, very informative, was able to get us where it was less crowded, tailored the tour to us. Found a place for masha for my daughter. Loved seeing Kyoto with her

Kyoto in a Day

Published on May, 2025

This day tour from Osaka was excellent. Our personal guide Ben was friendly, calm, efficient and very knowledgeable. Having a passionate local person as your guide is priceless. From explaining Traditional Japanese Culture to having an Authentic Japanese Lunch, the 10hr Tour wasn’t rushed and the time went quickly. We felt we really experienced Kyoto not just visited. Thankyou Ben for a wonderful experience.

Book this tour!

Yujiro (Ben) is absolutely amazing! We had so much fun exploring Kyoto, got lots of local recommendations and food. This tour is worth every penny and is a full day of memorable experiences. We were staying in Osaka and got a full day of Kyoto memories. He’s also an amazing photo taker!

Fantastic Day!

Published on May, 2025

Our guide Yujiro, went above and beyond by adding additional insights on culture and history. We have traveled all over the world and he has been one of the best guides we have experienced over the years. You will enjoy a day with him!

Experience the best of Kyoto in the most efficient way. Lewis will not disappoint!!

Published on May, 2025

Our tour to Kyoto was amazing, thanks to Lewis. He was pleasant and prompt right from the start. The tour was planned ahead but he always accommodated whatever we wanted to do. He was flexible, informative and knew short cuts around the city! He even found a great lunch spot without us having to wait. Can’t wait for our next trip to Japan and I hope Lewis will be available then. Thanks Lewis!
