Tomoko is a great guide and the tour is great!!! - It is a great excursion to take advantage of two days in Kyoto and also visit Nara and its beautiful deer, a “must”!!! We were fortunate to be joined by Tomoko Murai, an expert and wise guide, exquisite in the treatment and with great empathy and patience, while with great energy to be able to fulfill all the objectives, and always with a gentle smile. A great guide that made our visit absolutely extraordinary and rich in experiences and knowledge, apart from very interesting and fun. The itinerary is very well thought out, because you know the spiritual and architectural part of the temples, but as you also take trains and buses to get to the different sites, and also stop to eat in different places, you immerse yourself in the city hand in hand with Tomoko as if she were a friend, and share with its inhabitants their daily life, in an authentic cultural immersion. And the choice of temples and places to visit is very good. An absolutely recommended excursion and more with Tomoko!!!
