My reviews

    Get Ryuki as a guide!! He was so informative and enthusiastic. He had so much knowledge about all the areas and sites we went to see, and was patient when we wanted do pop into some shops. He also gave great suggestions for things to do and places do eat for the other days that we were there. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.

    We had the most perfect tour of Kyoto with Ryuki-san! He shared so much history and hidden spots of the city and gave us a true VIP experience. We saw so much and he was kind and so respectful. I would give this 1000 stars if I could. A very special tour that you cannot miss!
