We had a wonderful time with Eva and learned and saw a lot! We are a family of 5, with 3 college-age kids. We all had a great time, and our kids LOVED Eva. This was great, because in addition to seeing so many great things in Kyoto, our kids loved learning from her what life is like in Kyoto for young people, culturally, socially, etc. Eva was also very conscientious about reaching out ahead of the tour to ask about what we wanted to see, and really tailored the tour to our interests. She also booked a fabulous lunch for us that accommodated the entire family, including our one vegetarian! I highly recommend this tour with Eva!

Eva was our guide and we really enjoyed her. She reached out and asked us for our interests and input as she developed our personalized itinerary. She did some research on specific items we were looking for and took us to those shops. She put together the itinerary and made sure it met all of our needs. She was great and so helpful when the Kyoto station was evacuated for a suspicious package, she stayed with our group and guided us to get around that station to return back to Osaka. We were unfamiliar with the trains and a bit stressed but she kept us calm and took screen shots so we could navigate our way back.

Our guide, Eva, was very nice and talkative about life and traditions in Japan. We learned a lot about Japanese culture while walking around hidden places in Kyoto. We enjoyed that she showed us hidden, non touristy spots around Kyoto. We had a great day with great local food at the end
