Don was an excellent tour guide! He sent us a text soon after booking asking about our preferences on what we wanted to see and what we wanted to eat (along with asking about allergies/food preferences/if we wanted his recommendations). We chose to view the major historical parts of Kyoto, and he tailored his guided tour towards that! He even offered to meet us at a place of our choosing. We spent all day in Kyoto and he offered some history on the things we were seeing, he helped us navigate Kyoto through the subway/buses, and he guided us to a traditional ramen/udon shop to eat lunch! He also took pictures of our group for us! 10/10, would recommend.

Femin was great. He did a super job answering my son's questions. Always smiling and trying to help, it was fun to pass the day with him.

Shenji was the best tour guide and photographer! We got the Itinerary, but decided to change things up the last minute. He was able to obtain a last minute kimono rental and we eliminated the last stop on our itinerary to make time for it. Our photos are fabulous! He knew the spots to stop at the bamboo forest and everywhere he took us. Thank you so much for the great memories and photos!

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Jerome. From start to finish, it felt like the tour was well organized. The tour operator asked us about preferences ahead of time and we received our itinerary from Jerome several days before our scheduled tour. We were even asked about our food preferences. We were able to visit all the sites we wanted to see and even got to see some of the neighborhoods around the sites as we walked. Jerome was so helpful. He helped us get IC cards, taught us how to use them and reload them, etc, how to navigate the stations. We learned about local customs, some history about the sites. Lunch was great. It is a lot of walking but we expected that considering all we wanted to see. Jerome was very attentive and took lots of pictures for us, this was much appreciated. He gave us options throughout the day such as whether we wanted to spend some time shopping, rent a kimono, etc. Given that we had a very limited time in Osaka, this was a wonderful way to get to see Kyoto efficiently. Highly recommend. I traveled with kids, aged 8-13 and they were able to keep up. We were tired at the end of the day but we had a lovely time. Well worth it.

Great experience! Our guide Nazir was amazing. He was so knowledge of the area and the history. We would have never been able to see everything on our list without him.
