My reviews

    We had a great time walking around the best parts of Kyoto with Milo today for 5 hours. He was very knowledgeable and had excellent insights into history, culture and hidden secrets. He went at the pace we asked him to go at and he took into account all of our needs (food stops, comfort breaks, start point and end point).

    Milo was a generous and considerate guide, who managed to keep our three teens well fed, interested and walking for five hours without a complaint (almost!) We finished the tour with plenty of recommendations to follow up on, and the offer to keep in touch if we needed any more help. Highly recommended!

    Milo made such a difference to our stay in Kyoto. We booked a 3 hour tour which was perfect for us and he brought us to Nene no Michi Maruyama park Chion in temple gate (pure land sect) Heian shrine gate Nanzenji temple Philosophers path The silver temple He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto’s fascinating history. He also connected so well with my two sons who are 23 years and 21 years old. After the tour, he sent us numerous recommendations for the rest of our Japan holidays. For sure, we will come back to Kyoto and book Milo again!

    We had an amazing night tour of Gion, thanks to Milo’s impressive local knowledge from history to culture to trivia. He was extremely engaging and the private tour allowed for spontaneous dialogue. He was well organised in the routing, and it was highly personalised. Have been on a number of personal guide tours in different cities and Milo is by far the best!
