Truly Delightful Way to Spend a Day - My partner and I did the private 8h walking tour of Kyoto. Our guide, Osamu-san, was incredible! He came up with a detailed yet flexible plan ahead of time and was very communicative over email. In person, Osamu-san was kind, generous, and helpful in all things including langauge learning and better understanding of local customs and transportation. Our tour included historical places such as Togetsukyo bridge, Tenryuji temple, and Nonomiya shrine in the Arashiyama area, as well as Kinkakuji temple. Osamu-san has a wealth of knowledge about the history of all Kyoto landmarks big and small and he is a skilled storyteller. My partner and I had such a fulfilling day and would gladly do something like this again.

Wonderful walking tour! - My partner and I went on a custom private walking tour with Osamu-san and it was amazing! Osamu-san is an extremely knowledgeable and kind guide. He was wonderful to talk to, and he answered all of our questions, whether it be about history, language, food, or day-to-day culture and manners. He showed us many amazing places and was very considerate of us every step of the way. We loved the tour and I would highly recommend Osamu-san to anyone!

Great!! - We went on our KYOTO tour with our tour guide Kiyoto. It was great!! It was 33 degrees celsius and the humidity was 91 procent. Despite that it was super. We saw many things and our guide Kiyoto was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. If you go to Kyoto we really recommend this tour with Kiyoto!
