My reviews

    We had an amazing day with Taiga. He is the best tour guide and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn about the history, culture, and modern day Kyoto. We walked through the beautiful streets, went to shrines, had lunch at a delicious local Soba noodle restaurant, and went shopping along the way. We were a family of 4 and he made it fun for all of us. Definitely request Taiga for your tours of Kyoto or anywhere you go in Japan.

    We had a great day seeing a lot of the main attractions of Kyoto but also a lot of backstreet stuff we wouldn't have known where to look without a guide. Even with the crowds for new years we had a very memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour 10/10
