Our guide, Daus, gave us wonderful insight into Kyoto. The pace sights we saw were perfect, and I’m sure that we would not have seen them on our own!

Daus was very knowledgeable & took us to a wide variety of places that we may never have seen. The pace & selection of sights was spot on!

We really enjoyed our tour with Daus, as he was very attentive, patient, and friendly. He showed us lots of key places in Kyoto such as the thousand toori gates, the bamboo forest, and the Nishiki Market. We especially appreciated Daus's attention to detail, knowledge of the city, and enthusiasm. He added much value to our visit to Kyoto and we would highly recommend him as a guide.
