Great tour of Kyoto with Yuhey

Fantastic tour with Yuhey and highly recommend him for your first visit to Kyoto. It was great getting picked up at the hotel and driven to multiple difference temples and shrines. Yuhey was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The car rides between stops were fun and we discussed people, music and cultural differences. I learned a lot and another huge perk was he is a fantastic photographer. We have over a 100 really cool pictures from all over Kyoto. We had such a good time we rebooked with Yuhey for Nara or Osaka.

This was a very busy day....

This was a very busy day. The attractions were impressive and the Tour Guide gave plenty of information and was helpful in taking videos, etc. The one thing I did find very disappointing was the request for Tips at the end. One of the nice things about vacationing in Japan is that they don’t have a tipping culture.

a big day, 14 hrs from Osaka, but interesting to see Hiroshima and Minyama island. Our guide Chika was amazing, explained in good english where we where and the historical significance of each site. The downside was the crowds, too many to enjoy the peace memorial, minyama island and peace park.

It was extremely informative. Our tour guide, Mio, was excellent and knew Osaka very well. She truly made the entire experience unforgettable by combining deep local knowledge with a warm, engaging personality. She brought history and culture to life through great storytelling rather than just reciting a list of dry facts, keeping us entertained and moving smoothly from start to finish.

An Amazing Day Exploring Nara with Ayame

We had such a wonderful time exploring Nara! This tour was the perfect way to experience the city, and we felt like we got to see all the highlights while learning so much along the way. Visiting Tōdai-ji Temple and seeing the enormous Great Buddha was especially impressive, and of course, spending time with the famous Nara deer was a highlight! Our guide, Ayame, was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient with our two kids, taking the time to answer all their questions. She also helped us interact with the deer and was quick to step in whenever they got a little too pushy! Her guidance made the entire experience fun, educational, and easy to enjoy. We learned so much, made wonderful memories, and had an amazing time. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the best of Nara! Hopefully you get Ayame as your guide since she was fantastic!

Great Osaka tour with Davin!

Fantastic tour of Osaka with Davin! All the sights were better than I remember from 20 years ago and Davin was great with his local knowledge and went above and beyond helping the tour members with recipes, directions, and observations on life in Japan.
