Fun and informative!
Was a lovely trip. Our tour guide CeCe was excellent. We learned a lot and was able to see the beautiful castle and grounds. The tour, though, was 18 people, so quite large for what was booked as a small group. This made it go a bit slower. There was also a need to go on the bus which we did not know about prior so we're not prepared with fare.

Our guide, Mia was absolutely wonderful. It was obvious not only was she very knowledgeable, but she clearly enjoys what she does. I'm glad we booked the tour as it made walking through Nijo Castle and the Imperial Place more meaningful.

Nijo tour with Katz
Katz was a fantastic guide with in-depth knowledge of the history of the castle and palace. He was super friendly. We would definitely take another tour with him.

Mia was a superb guide on our tour of two historic palaces, and the lovely garden next to one of them. She not only explained what we were viewing, but she also offered an historical and/or cultural context that was very informative. She answered questions knowledgeably. Although the palaces were interesting, Mia’s commentary really added to our understanding of these sites.

Castle and palace Tour
We had a great tour with Vincent. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a detailed tour of the Nijo castle. Unfortunately, we were late arriving to the palace and were unable to tour. Instead, he took us down and showed us a different shrine.

We had an excellent tour with Kenta! He was completely fluent in English, took us around at our own speed and was very knowledgeable. The castle, with its beautiful interiors, is not to be missed!

Awesome Kyoto experience!
We had such a wonderful experience at Nijo Castle! Jasmine was very knowledgeable and spoke beautiful English. She answered all the questions my children had and was all around sweet. She even walked us to a local spot for lunch. 10/10 definitely book a tour!

Wonderful tour with Mie of castle and palace
Mie was amazing! She was warm and shared so much information. Her English was perfect and she shared just enough historical information without going overboard, but answered any and all our specific questions, as well. She had some great visual aides to help explain things and also has a great sense of humor! Wonderful tour of both sites.

Wonderful tour of Nijo Castle, Nishiki Food Mkt & Fushimi Inari Shrine!
We really enjoyed having Hideo as our tour guide! This is my 3rd visit to Japan and I learned a lot of interesting things that I didn’t know before!! I’d recommend him to anyone interested in learning more about Japan!!
