I speak English and some Japanese, Hindi
I am Student
Hey everyone! I'm Rhea, a graduate student based in beautiful Kyoto! Kyoto has always inspired me in various aspects, mainly the city's history, culture, and the landscape. Also, I'm a huge anime fan, and I can recommend places to shop for goods and souvenirs for all you anime lovers out there! In addition to this, I love trying new food, and for this reason I always love the modern yet intriguing local food choices Kyoto has to offer along with the shopping opportunities. Whether you're interested in exploring the bustling markets of Nishiki, admiring the serene gardens of Ginkaku-ji, or learning about the history Kyoto has to offer, I would love to take you on an unforgettable journey through the city's most fascinating sights tailored to your interests. Be it any season, Kyoto is my go-to-place, and I look forward to sharing all of this with you!

My reviews

Sarah was very knowledgeable and intelligent. She had a very good understanding of Japanese for being a foreigner. She matched the sights with our interest and physical abilities. She had a very good interaction with the Japanese. If you can afford a private tour definitely take a taxi to maximize your efficiency.

We appreciated the opportunity of a fun guide like Rhea Sarah for our visit to Gion district and Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. She was informative, showed us little out of the way places which is what we really appreciated whilst giving us plenty of photo opportunities. Thanks to Rhea we had the best day exploring and creating memories of the beauty that Kyoto and surrounding region has to offer.
