Tom was a fantastic guide who shared his love of Kyoto. He was very accommodating to our needs and prepared a suitable schedule beforehand, including the train timetable. Additionally, he recommended ideas for the remainder of our time in Kyoto.

We’re glad the schedule and recommendations helped you make the most of your stay. We hope to welcome you again in Japan someday!
Give some thought to what the must see attractions are but leave space for guide recommendations, might get you off the beaten path!
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We completely agree! Having a few must-see spots in mind while leaving room for the guide’s recommendations can lead to truly unique and memorable experiences. We’re glad you enjoyed that aspect of the tour and hope to welcome you again in the future!

We had a fantastic day sight seeing around Kyoto and are very grateful for our guide Steven. Steven worked with us to plan the day to see the sights we wanted and did extra research to know routes that were best with our 8 month old son in a pram. Steven made sure the day was flexible with times to stop or change agenda for our son. Steven was full of knowledge, explaing the significance and practices of where we were visiting and happily answered many of our questions.
We had a great time visiting several temples and shrines, strolling the busy streets of Gion, and enjoyed learning about life in Kyoto and Japan. Our guide Steven was funny and knowledgeable, we enjoyed him a lot and he helped us find a restaurant for New Year’s Eve.
The tour guide Toshiki is excellent in terms of knowing Kyoto most interested sites were visited, and able to convey the information of each particular site visited in Kyoto in a good way which was clear and understood.
