Thank you Miki - What a pleasure to meet and have Miki host my family and I as a guide for a day in Kyoto. We had such a wonderful time exploring Kyoto. She was delightful company, professional and very informative. We are so glad our first day in Kyoto was spent with Miki as she gave us such confidence to explore this beautiful city by ourselves for the rest of our stay. Thank you Miki!.

Visiting many shrines and the market in Kyoto - This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Yuki, was very knowledgeable, and her English was excellent. Her detailed explanations put us historically in the picture. Would definitely recommend her.

Kyoto tour with a local guide - We were delighted with the tour provided by Akari. Having a local guide made the experience seem more like a friend showing us her neighbourhood than a commercial package.
Akari got the balance right between showing us the "essential" highlights and providing us the flexibility to do as we chose. We'd happily recommend the experience.

1 full day walking private tour of Kyoto - Wonderful personalized tour of Kyoto. It was not rushed and there was lots to see. A slow wander through Nishiki Market, Gion District and Yasaka Shrine. Our tour guide was Yukiko and we had such a wonderful and relaxed day. We had the best Okonomiyaki in Kyoto. Thanks again Yuki.

A good tour with a very nice guide - The tour to the golden pavilion and the Kyoto residence of the Shogun during the Edo-period was very interesting and the best part of the tour. They were both very beautifully. I especially appreciated that they had preserved the forest covered hills behand the pavilion that made the pavilion to really stand out. And I liked the animals that were painted on the walls of the shogun reception rooms. The was quite nice, even if it was obvious that the artist had never seen tigress and leopards.
We real appreciated our guide Yoshida. She was knowledgeful and very nice. Especially how she took care my wife, then she got a little tiered in the heat stands out. We liked her a lot.

Amazing Guide in Osaka and Kyoto!!! - Just returned from a 3 week trip to Japan and I already want to return! We had a large 20 person family trip planned starting and ending in Tokyo. We had a 12 day cruise booked to get around Japan since it was easier to travel that way with 2 wheelchair users and several elderly travelers. Because we had some unique circumstances, we booked our own private excursions at each port. Based on the reviews online, I went with Omakase since they had some experience with travelers with limited mobility. And they did not disappoint!! But my favorite guide throughout our whole trip was MIYO. If you’re going to Osaka and Kyoto, see if you can get a tour with her!!! She is the sweetest, warmest and most accommodating person!! She really listens to your requests and your needs as a traveler and goes above and beyond! Several of my family members bonded with Miyo (including me!) and we could not have had a better time in Osaka and Kyoto with her. She really is a wonderful guide and helped to make our trip to Japan an unforgettable one!!! Thank you!!!
