Early morning tour with Mr Japan / US Vincent - Had a great morning tour with Vincent, who showed us several temples and the bamboo forest and gave us some great advice on restaurants. His knowledge of the Japanese culture as well as the western culture provides him the background for insightful and interesting learning. Thanks for a great morning despite the heavy rain :-)

Two kiwi’s take a history walk in Kyoto - Our tour guide was Hiro. He was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and was able to put a personal spin on some of the stories that he told. He definitely knows his Japanese history. Both my husband and I really enjoyed having him show us around Kyoto ☺️

Informative and fun Tour with a friendly and insightful guide - Hiro is a great Tour Guide who speaks English well and can explain a lot of what is written in Japanese. It was a lot of fun with him, and I can only recommend the tour. He had an answer to all of my questions and even explained extra facts and insider information. All in all, Hiro is a kind-hearted and funny person, and I would love to do the tour again someday!

Amazing Kyoto tour - We had an amazing morning with Hiro. He gave us a lot of information about the shrines but was also kind enough to tell us more about living in Japan in general, answering all of our questions and he gave us tips for nice places to eat. We learned a lot! We also had a lot of fun. Time went by so fast. We can highly recommend this tour!

Great Intro to Kyoto Tour - This tour was equal parts fun and enlightening- in more ways than one! Getting the locals’ perspective on some of Kyoto’s great cultural and spiritual landmarks was more than just educational. Plus, Vincent was patient and generous in answering any questions we had about the day to day life of a young person living in modern Kyoto. I recommend you start your stay in Kyoto with this tour so you can get a good idea of the city’s layout and snag some recommendations for local hangouts to enjoy the rest of your time here!
