We had a great time with Brenda! She followed our desires completely and we even got to see a geisha despite the timing not being ideal! She explained things thoroughly and went at our pace. She took great pictures of us and was really helpful even after helping our experience. I would definitely book this tour and will recommend it to anyone on their way to Japan!

My guide was extremely friendly and personable. Lime making a new friend. "Nihon-ga Tomodachi". He was very knowledgeable with the history of the various Temples and Shrines. Besides the "formal" tourist sights, he introduced me to some of the local culture. We used a one day bus pass to visit numerous locations of interest. Whi.le I was aware that the "Official" Tour was of three hours duration, he insisted time was of no concern, rather my getting the most of this opportunity. Highly, highly recommended.

We had a half day tour of Kyoto with ‘Yuri’. It’s probably the best walking tour we ve ever had. He s passionate about his city and just loves showing it off. We had a perfect mix - a bit of history , culture etc. Yuri is an exceptional guide as he is highly intuitive and so can quickly see what you want to do or don’t want to do. An exceptional guide!
