We had a GREAT experience touring and learning from Mieko. We learned SO MUCH and can’t stop raving about it! Thank you Mieko for everything!

Incredible tour, incredible guide! Got to really see the best of Kyoto and learnt so much history from our guide. Such an amazing experience. Would highly recommend!

We LOVED our day in Kyoto!! Our guide Chihiro was absolutely wonderful!! She is so knowledgeable, kind, and has a great sense of humor! We enjoyed seeing all the beautiful sights, exploring the city & a delicious lunch with our guide. I’d recommend this to anyone considering it! We hope to come back with our 2 children someday & repeat this tour! Thank you, Chihiro!!!!

The tour was fantastic. Kyoto is a big city and some of the key sites ar far apart from each other. Thanks to the private tour and our guide Kumi, we made the most of our day and were able to visit all ten spots. We also had very interesting conversations about Japanese culture and lifestyle with Kumi, who was profesional and attentive. I highly recommend this tour.

My group and I went on this tour in June; it was by far my favorite day of the trip! We were so lucky to have the amazing tour guide, Chihiro. She was kind, funny, personable, and treated us like family. She told us interesting facts and information about each location, showed us hidden areas, took photos of us, and was so patient while we were at souvenir shops. I also deeply appreciated the opportunity to have long conversations with Chihiro about Japan as I don't speak much Japanese, but she speaks great English! Getting to know her made me feel so much more connected and comfortable with the area and culture. Along with this, the tour itself was amazing! We got to visit sites all across Kyoto and see tons of attractions in just one day. If you are thinking of visiting Kyoto, this tour is perfect. It's incredibly affordable for what you get; you won't regret it! I will never forget my tour with Chihiro, and I can't wait to return to Japan so I can do another tour with her! From Jessica, Jamie, and Amber, we miss you Chihiro!

We had a wonderful day with our guide, Mie, visiting a number of the sites in Kyoto and learning about the culture and history of the area. Highly recommended!

This tour was awesome!! Mieko was more than just a tour guide showing the top sights, the tour was like spending the day with a friend showing you around the city. She gave a lot of helpful insight into the city, the culture, and all the best restaurants! Our group loved seeing all of the “Must See” sights and appreciated Mieko customizing the tour based on our needs (we were not ready for the extreme heat). She helped us get from the train station to drop our bags off and even followed up to help give ideas for the rest of our time Kyoto. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement! Definitely recommend!!

Our full-day tour of Kyoto was hands down one of the best tours we've ever taken! Our guide, Chihiro, was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable about Kyoto’s rich history and culture, with excellent English skills that made everything easy to understand. We visited all the top attractions, and each stop felt well-paced and informative. Along the way, we also got to enjoy some incredible local food, which added to the experience. I can’t recommend this tour enough—it’s a must for anyone wanting to truly experience Kyoto!

Fujiko was amazing! She is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us. She also gave us great suggestions for shopping and dining. Fujiko is very engaging and personable. She was accommodating to our needs and was willing to adjust and even extend our tour. Additionally, she has a great sense of humor and is an excellent photographer - she took many amazing photos of us at the scenic spots. I would highly recommend her to others if they come to Kyoto.

Miwako (Olive) was as excellent guide! We had a great day and saw so many sights. Very efficient and interesting tour! Highly recommended for limited time in Kyoto.

The most effective and fun way to see Kioto if you don’t have much time in the city. The guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun. I would highly recommend it!

Tour was excellent and informative. Our guide was really great with our young children and very patient. I would highly recommend.

Fuji San was so cool. She took us to amazing places and we had such a fun time. I would definitely recommend this is your to all of my friends.

Fuji san was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about Kyoto and took us to amazing spots. Also took us to such a delicious sushi restaurant. 10/10 would go again!

We had a wonderful tour with Akemi. She made the whole day go smoothly and gave us interesting background information. The temperature went up to 95 degrees, and we appreciated that Akemi modified our tour so we saw the interior of a palace and a market during the hottest part of the day. Would highly recommend as a way of seeing important sights in Kyoto.
