Hey there! I'm Ai, your friendly neighborhood host here in enchanting Kyoto! One of my absolute joys is exploring Kyoto's hidden gems, from cozy cafes tucked away in Gion to serene temples nestled amidst the bamboo forests. And let's not forget about the rivers! There's something magical about the Kamogawa and Uji rivers. You'll often find me at the local cinema, indulging in the intimate atmosphere and passion for film that sets Kyoto apart. I've dived deep into the city's art, music, and fine-tasting scene, making connections along the way. Fun fact about me, I'm a bit of a sword fighter. It's true! So, whether you're craving a soulful temple experience or a cinematic adventure, count on me to take you through the wonders of Kyoto. Let's create memories as vibrant and beautiful as the city itself!
The guide, Ai, the beautiful sights, the wonderful experience at the water mirror. Overall 5 star. Would do it again.

Excelente recorrido súper personalizado a nuestro gusto. Ai nos recomendó excelentes sitios históricos , muchos de ellos conocidos solamente por locales. Excelentes recomendaciones de comida ya que le pedimos enfocar nuestro tiempo en eso. Súper amable y muy atenta a respondernos todas nuestras dudas. Mucho conocimiento en el transporte público, muy puntual y espero a que nos subiéramos al camión . Ir con ropa y zapatos cómodos ya que en 8 horas si se caminará bastante aunque se puede descansar cuando uno lo decida. 100% recomendable. An excellent tour, super personalized to our liking. Ai recommended excellent historical sites, many of them known only to locals. She also made excellent food recommendations, as we asked her to focus our time on those. She was super friendly and very attentive in answering all our questions. She was very knowledgeable about public transportation, very punctual, and waited for us to get on the bus. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, as there will be quite a bit of walking in 8 hours, although you can rest whenever you want. 100% recommended.
