Unfortunately, shortly...
Unfortunately, shortly after my guide pick me up, he felt ill and we had to cancel the entire tour. He said that he will contact his management to request a refund for me as the tour couldn’t be fulfilled. Very nice and knowledgeable tour guide.

Loved Nara!
The Kyoto part of our day was slightly more chaotic than the afternoon in Nara. Overall, a great tour that gets you to the sites you don’t want to miss! Our afternoon guide was very kind, helpful and organized.

Great Value Private Kyoto Tour
Our guide Yoshino was excellent. We communicated quite a bit by email prior to the tour customizing our itinerary, Yoshino happily accepted a last minute change to our pick up spot. During the day he expertly guided us using trains, subways and taxis. We never waited more than 5-10 minutes.
We were on a cruise and Yoshino got us back to the ship with plenty of time.
He is a great photographer and was happy to take pictures of us at every stop.
Highly recommend Yoshino and this tour.

Tatsuya is a great guide!
Its was an amazing experience! Tatsuya's knowledge of public transport allowed us to get around with no issues at all. He very informative on all the locations we went to and very friendly! He was very considerate about where we wanted to end the tour and even gave us advice on how to get back to our accommodation post the other booking we had planned. Would book again and then some, five stars!

Please bring an umbrella...
Tour is very flexible with the pacing and informative! Jasmine was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable with every stop that she made on the tour, and she took the time to find places to stop away from crowded areas to personalize the experience for us. I highly recommend her for Kyoto tours!

Kyoto is best seen with Yuki!
We had the most amazing experience with YUKI! Of every tour we have taken so far, she was far superior in her English fluency, her historical knowledge and her attention to all the details. She was so accommodating and tailored our tour to exactly what we wanted to see! Yuki truly made our stay in Kyoto so memorable! Thank you Yuki!

Kyoto 101
My mother used to live in Japan, and I have visited the country three times. That said, Jasmine elevated our experience with her knowledge, kindness, and patience throughout our tour.
Jasmine was attentive and felt like a friend rather than a guide. We truly enjoyed our time with her and learning more deeply about the history and cultural significance of the royal family and the Shogun of old. This isn’t goodbye, it’s see you soon.

A great day of touring Kyoto with guide Yoshi!
This was such a wonderful introduction to Kyoto. It was our first visit to Japan, and we really appreciated Yoshi's warm welcome, extensive knowledge, and cheerful attitude. He helped us navigate trains, buses, and unfamiliar streets to make the best use of our time together. It rained on our tour day, and he adjusted as we went along to help us stay comfortable and have the best experience.

We hit a lot of traffic...
We hit a lot of traffic so we had a huge time constraint on all of our sightseeing. A little disappointing, but no fault of tour guide or van driver. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get to Kyoto from Kobe port. In hind sight we should have gone to Osaka instead, a little closer.

Admission to the park is free.
While the gardens can be visited independently, the palace buildings can only be entered by prior arrangement with the palace authorities.
The palace is very close to Nijo Castle, and the two places can be visited together in a convenient morning or afternoon of sightseeing.
