Great Experience in Kyoto! - Eriko Osuga, our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable. All the sites we wanted to see, she scheduled well, so we didn't miss anything. Having a driver separate from the tour guide was very helpful to save us valuable time.

They really help you so the tips on navigating, purchase premium seats, translation, and so much more!

Great highlights of Kyoto! - Really great experience with Yoshi! He took me to a few of the top spots since this was my first time in Kyoto. He was well-versed in the history of the shrines, temples and palace. The navigational know how was much appreciated! Be sure to bring cash and coins!

Wonderful guide - We had an absolutely wonderful day with Kyoko, seeing the important sites of Kyoto. Not only was she caring and accommodating, but her English was clear and articulate, making the day a memorable learning experience. We have since learned that not all guides are as clear and understandable. Ask for Kyoko!

Relaxing day in Arashiyama - My husband and I had a really nice tour of Arashiyama, including the bamboo forest, Nonomiya shrine, Jojakkoji Temple, Tenryu-ji Temple and its stunning garden, and the Togetsukyo bridge. What I liked about our guide, Eriko Osuga, was that she was friendly and flexible. She let us decide what kind of experience we would have. She suggested a peaceful boat ride on the river which was perfect since we needed some time to relax and recharge. Since the area is extremely crowded, it was nice to get away from people for a while. She knew that a picnic by the river would be more appealing than eating in a touristy restaurant. She was really great about pointing out beautiful spots to take pictures and offered to take them of us. Overall it was lovely day.
