Highly recommended - Waqar was very helpful and informative. She was able to provide insight not only into the history of Kyoto, but also into the daily life of modern residents.
He was able to help us understand how to get around in Kyoto as well as understand the different areas of the city. He showed us several interesting places we would not have found on our own.
Learning about the various customs at each temple as well as insight into Geisha life was worth the price on its own. His communication style and willingness to go above and beyond were a great way to start our time in Kyoto.
