My reviews

A relaxed way to see the city and learn about the history and other quirky details. Milo was super knowledgeable not just about Kyoto but Japan. He answered my extensive range of questions beautifully. The pace was easy yet a lot of sites were packed in. My 11 year old daughter and I really enjoyed it.

Milo was super knowledgeable not just about Kyoto but the history of Japan. He packed key sites in while travelling at a good pace. My 11 year old daughter and I really enjoyed it. I could relax and absorb the sites. It’s obvious Milo enjoys the city and what he is doing.
