First day in Kyoto - Was a wonderful first look at Kyoto. Our guide and now friend Tetsu listened to the things we wanted to do and then organized a tour that was time efficient and covered what we wanted and some ideas from him as well that turned out great. Tetsu also helped us navigate transport and gave us lots a tips about our further adventures in Kyoto. We could not have been more happy with our tour and Tetsu.

Kyoto for One Day! - We had the pleasure of touring Kyoto for one full day with Arima Kai, a young man who, having spent a year in Ireland, is extremely fluent in English. He gave us a great tour of FujiAnar and the Golden Temple; and chose and amazing luncheon spot for Kyoto’s famous ramen. Arima was flexible and cheerful regarding our desire to do a little shopping - showing us some great stores and carrying our bags while we browsed. We highly recommend Arima as your Kyoto guide!
