My reviews

    I enjoyed Ryuki as a tour guide because he adapted his tour to my interests and was good at making conversation.

    We had a great time exploring Kyoto with Ryuki! He showed us a lot of places we would have missed, taught us a lot about the culture and history, and provided excellent recommendations on other places to visit! He was nice, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely a highlight of our trip!
