This was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Milo, was very knowledgeable and tailored the experience to our interests. It was the perfect way to start off our few days in Kyoto! We were able to walk all around the city and see many historical sights in a relatively short time. Throughout the tour he was engaging and shared many interesting bits of historical context to compliment the beautiful scenery!

Milos was an incredible guide. Extremely knowledgeable and always adaptable. He provided extensive contextual history of each location we visited which improved my entire Kyoto experience. He also had a good sense of humour, and an impressive repertoire of movie knowledge and references. Would highly recommend a tour with Milos.
