We had a delightful time on our tour with our guide Sho. He tailored our tour to be exactly what we crafted with his guidance. It was a great day overall!
Sho was our guide for the day and he did a wonderful tour of 4 Kyoto sightings with us, the tour was very well planned, we were picked up from our hotel which was a great option for us. Sho was very attentive along the way and very informative, spacious car for family, provided a list of places and streets go for us to take a walk on based on our interests , highly recommend!
This was an amazing experience. Our guide was the best we have ever had! He was so sweet to our young daughter and made this day a true highlight of our trip. He had amazing facts to share and gave us great insight to the history of Kyoto. He has set the bar high for an other tours we ever go on!
