Hello! I'm Thel Phyu Phyu, your local guide in the enchanting city of Kyoto. What captivates me most about Kyoto is its harmonious blend of rich history with modern vibrancy. Walking through the streets, you can't help but feel immersed in tales from ages past, especially when visiting storied temples. But Kyoto isn’t just about the old; it’s also about the new. On a typical evening, you might find me unwinding in the Gion-Kiyamachi area, sipping on a coffee, or exploring a new eatery. Believe me, there's a café or restaurant at every corner here, and I take pride in having discovered many of them! Beyond the well-trodden paths, I have an eye for Kyoto's hidden gems. Whether you're curious about traditional cuisine or looking to uncover lesser-known historic landmarks, I'm here to ensure you experience the very best of Kyoto. Let’s explore this beautiful city together!

We had a wonderful tour of Kyoto with Phyu Phyu. We spent the entire day walking through Kyoto… temples, trying new foods, grabbing matcha, learning about the city… she even took us to a gluten free ramen restaurant for lunch-so thoughtful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with our host, Phyu Phyu. Her language skills are outstanding, her knowledge excellent, and her personality fantastic. We saw and did everything for which we asked and much more. What an enjoyable evening. We highly recommend this tour.

Despite the peak tourist spring season, our guide PhyuPhyu was able to guide us through to enjoy the sights of Kyoto.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time and tour with Phyu Phyu. We saw everything for which we asked and much more. Her English is excellent and we learned so much. We were happy to share a meal with her and learn some of her background. We highly recommend this tour.
