Kyoto Walking Tour - We did a full day day walking tour capturing many Kyoto highlights. Jose David was very patient with my 7 year old, engaging in much conversation to keep him interested and moving! He kept us off the beaten path, which exposed us to places I would not have found otherwise. We were able to appreciate the beauty of Kyoto without encountering too many crowds.

Day tripin' Kyoto with Peter. - Our guide Peter took us to places in Kyoto that we would not have found by ourselves. There are so many amazing temples & gardens to see and explore but many are super crowded with people seeking an Instagram moment. Peter knew exactly where to go and how to get there via public transportation and he helped us bridge the language gap. No crowds, no stress, just an amazing day!

Fantastic Day! - We booked the personalized tour as our time in Kyoto was limited and we wanted to see as much as possible while there. Jose David was our guide for the day and he did a wonderful job with adapting the itinerary according to our wish list. He is also so knowledgeable- and shared historic facts to enhance our experience. The day flew by and we would highly recommend this personalized day tour to anyone interested in experiencing the beauty of Kyoto.

A Day Well Spent in Kyoto - I thoroughly enjoyed an entertaining, private, full-day tour of Kyoto with my guide, Laura. I can't recommend her highly enough. Laura customized the day according to my interests in Kyoto history and was incredibly knowledgeable. Every question I threw at her was answered in detail and with proficiency. On top of that our conversation was free flowing and genuine. A memorable experience that I highly recommend.

Kyoto Tour - Really great guide. Showed us some beautiful temples and Shrines. My favorite Temple was at the top of a busy street. The Tory gates were really beautiful experience as well.

Excellent Tour - My husband and I took this tour in early Jan 2024 with Jose as our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and entertaining. We saw several shrines and temples, including ones that were less known (and less busy), but very tranquil and beautiful. We definitely recommend this tour, especially if you have a shorter period in Kyoto and want to see a lot in one day.

Recommend touring with Jose - Jose was a great guide for Kyoto! He was also flexible in adjusting the itinerary based on our interests and preferences. We learned a lot from him! He also gave us great tips for other sightseeing in the area. It was a real pleasure to have him take us from sight to sight (involves trains and buses) instead of having to plan it ourselves. The information he gave us at each site was very interesting!
