My reviews

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.

Milo was so responsive to our needs. I was worried about being shoulder to shoulder with crowds all day. However, he knew all of the side streets and off the beaten track places to go. We got the shrines and temples, the iconic photos of Kyoto, but we also got the charming side streets and nature paths that made the day special. For lunch we went to a tucked away spot run by an older couple with delicious authentic food without the tourist crowds. Milo knew the history and traditions of the places we visited and left us with detailed maps of where we should try on our own. It was the perfect day in Kyoto!
