Yoko provided a wonderful custom tour that ticked off all of our wish list, plus she steered us away from crowds and toward a terrific tonkatsu restaurant after our tour.

Miki was our tour guide, and she was remarkably kind and informative. My partner and I discussed beforehand with Miki what we most wanted to see. She also helped with finding reservations for a delicious obanzai lunch as well as running the itinerary by us beforehand to confirm it was what we were hoping for. Miki took us along the most scenic walks between places and we all discussed various aspects of the culture and history of Kyoto, in addition to viewing the various locations we were trying to see. She also took us to some street markets by our destinations in order to show us where we could find the items we were looking for the most, as well as showing us some less-visited sights that were gorgeous while traveling between places.
Overall, Miki was an extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and sweet guide. She was definitely one of the best tour guides we’ve had.

Kyoto was a fantastic leader. Really personable and his local knowledge for first-class! Really made the overall experience 10/10 from my friends and I. Highly recommend!
