My reviews

We had a wonderful day exploring Kyoto with Milo. He did a great job balancing interesting cultural sites and shrines with fun local shopping and areas of interest. We loved walking through the Silver Pavilion and its beautiful gardens, then taking the Philosophers Path down to the city. Milo had great knowledge of the city and its history, and was a great host! We appreciated his ability to take our priorities for the day and blend them with his favorite places to visit. He also had the best photo ops planned out! Highly recommend!

Milo was a great guide who kept a tranquil pace. They were extremely knowledgeable about the city and each of us took somethings away from the tour. To put a cherry on top Milo tailored the tour to our interests and provided us with recommendations that fit our needs.
