Outstanding - Kosuke is an outstanding tour guide. He is from Kyoto and takes pride in showing you around his city and sharing his local knowledge. Ko picks up and drops off from hotel and will customise tour for you to suit your interests. He was patient and playful with the kids. Recommend booking in advance.

Excellent tour - It was a pleasant experience with KSK-Tour. Kosuke was very accommodating so we can see more attractions. He provides history and background related to the attractions. He also take good pictures and knows the good spots. He also brought us to a nice udon place for lunch. I would highly recommend Kosuke.

Fun Day with Kosuke - We had an amazing day with Kosuke as our guide! He was incredibly prompt and communicated with us throughout the day, ensuring everything went smoothly. Kosuke had fantastic recommendations and was very flexible, adjusting our itinerary to fit exactly what we wanted to do. I accidentally left my goshuin book in the car at one stop, and he immediately ran back to retrieve it, saving the day! His deep historical knowledge of each site we visited made the experience even more enriching, and he was a lot of fun to spend the day with. Highly recommend Kosuke – we'll definitely be booking him again on our next trip!

Book and ask for Kosuke (best driver and tour guide) - Our driver kosuke was absolutely excellent for me and my mom (party of two). Kosuke is very nice and an easy going gentleman. He was also very knowledgable of the area and doubled as a great guide as well. He even had good recommendations that we didnt initially have on our to see/do list which were great and very glad we added these addtl places to our list. He was also very flexible when we wanted to make changes throughout the day. A even big plus is he is great at taking photos which helps alot because not everyone knows hows to take good photos (one of my pet peeves lol). I will for sure be recommending kosuke to all my friends and family visiting kyoto in future and will also book him whenever I return to the area.

Highly recommend!! - My family and I went on a one day sightseeing tour in Kyoto with Kosuke in July this year. He showed us Komyoin Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Golden Pavilion, Bamboo Forest and Monkey Park. He suggested a wonderful place for lunch called Gontaro, where the food was delicious. So glad we did this tour. Kosuke was a wonderful guide and very knowledgable, he taught us many things. He was really great with the kids and I was very grateful that he provided a car seat for my youngest child. He speaks excellent English so that was also great. He took many beautiful family photos for us which was unexpected so an absolute bonus. Thanks again Kosuke, we highly recommend you!

Awesome tour - Went on a one-day tour of Kyoto and Nara with Kosuke and had a great experience. Kosuke is an excellent tour guide - patient, knowledgeable, warm and friendly. We went to some well-known places as well as some hidden gems. I would love to return to Kyoto and tour with Kosuke again.

Day in Kyoto - If you’re looking for a guide in Kyoto, Ko is absolutely amazing! Our time was limited, and we saw so much more than we could’ve ever seen on our own. He has his own spacious, air conditioned vehicle, which was a life saver for the kids. He took us to well known highlights, as well as less touristy attractions. We had no plans and told him to take us anywhere he thought we should see. He is from Kyoto and his knowledge and passion for his city made the trip extremely memorable. Moreover, he took incredible pictures. Ko is extremely skilled with the camera and captured moments effortlessly, making it look like we’re the only tourists there. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Expectations exceeded from our Kyoto tour! - Our expectation were far exceeded with our Kyoto tour. Kosuke-san was very knowledgeable and interacted well with our family. He created an itinerary that gave us a great perspective of Kyoto. In addition, he was an excellent driver and was able to park very close to the various places we visited. I highly recommend this tour and Kosuke-san!

Amazing tour guide and private driver in Kyoto! - We had Kosuke show us around Kyoto, Nara and Uji over two days. He was knowledgeable and provided us loads of information on all the sites visited. He was prompt, on-time and super considerate at all times. He was engaging with my two daughters aged 10 and 13. Highly recommend him to any families who are looking for an enjoyableand efficient way to tour Kyoto and surrounding areas.

Magnificent you to see Kyoto! - Kosuke was a marvelous tour guide and a wonderful driver. He selected several temples that most tourists do not see. They were lovely and we got a better understanding of Buddhism thanks to Kos!👍. He suggested a great restaurant at the Nishiki Market for tonkatsu! We invited him to join us for lunch which allowed us to learn more about Kyoto and the Japanese culture. My family and I considered our tour with Kosuke to be a major highlight of our 10 day visit to Japan! He was also very accommodating when working with him on the itinerary of our day together! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
