“Very intensive tour, but you get to see many highlights in 1 day, in every location we had quite short time, I recommend to take notes and come back on a different day if you see a place you like, our guide Hiroko was very nice and had great sence of humor, she taught us useful Japanese words, sadly the explanations about the places we visited were not very clear to me, maybe because my seat was in the back of the bus, because of a confusion regarding when the lunch time ends (I didn't pay for the lunch so got separated from the group) I missed seeing the places…”

“Our tour guide Den started and ended with the brightest smile. She gave us so much insight on the history of the temples and shrines we visited. I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will get to experience the brightness that Den brought to our day!”

“Ikuro, our guide was very knowledgeable, and did the tour very interesting. Great man and very respectful. highly recommend!”

“Really fun tour - our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to see a Geisha during our tour. It was a great way to see the highlights of the area.”

“Yuki guided this tour and has so much knowledge and passion that I was impressed. I now know and respect more the geikoand meiko's of Kyoto. Thank you Yuki for making this such a memorable experience.”

“Our guide Yuta (pronounced Utah) was amazing. First off his English was the best of any Japanese guide we’ve experienced. Most interestingly, he went to a depth in explaining Japanese culture and tradition that we were not expecting; from historic facts and figures, to explaining the details of the tea ceremony, to educating us on cultural dos and don’ts, to a most interesting smattering of Zen Buddhist teachings, Yuta really took a simple bike tour to a whole new and unexpected level. I highly recommend this tour with Yuta!”

“Jimmy took me out to experience a great dinner and drinks evening, co-mingling with the local Friday night crowd, which I probably would have otherwise totally missed”

“Thank you Usuke! Super fun tour guide and was great with everyone including the family that came along. Great shortcut up to a non-busy area of the hike. Make. Make sure you're prepared, it's a bit of a moderate hike!”

“Take your time walking through the shrine, the old town and admire the beauty all around you: the trees that have been so carefully grown and shaped, the care put into the gardens, the mountains, the quiet…”

“Had a really informative and good natured tour with Shin - great to do at the start of the trip to also learn about the area in general! We went in the evening which I think added to the experience as the area looks very pretty at night.”

“Arisa is an amazing tour guide. Her English is fantastic and she kept the tour efficient, knowledgeable and memorable. Highly recommend!”

“Today was our first day in Kyoto and we were very glad to have Kazuhiko Goto as our excellent guide. He provided a great overview of the key sights and experiences that Kyoto has to offer, and then (consistent with our pre-communication) had a plan that we followed to visit temples, shrines, and the bamboo forest. Throughout it all Kazo provided history, culture, and other insights to both inform and engage. It was a great 6 hours and an awesome way to start of visit to Kyoto as we are now more equipped to do other local sights on our own in the coming days.”

“This tour was excellent. Yuki was a fantastic tour guide, and I really enjoyed exploring the market and getting to see inside several shops. The food was delicious too!”

“Thank you Laura!Everything perfectly organized and your support was great!”

“Nice way to spend a day with nature. Bamboo forest was peaceful, interesting shrine and temple and the monkeys were lots of fun to watch. Our guide Maricel was excellent and very knowledgeable”
