Hey there! I'm Andy your go-to local host in the beautiful city of Kyoto. What I absolutely adore about Kyoto is the peaceful vibe along the Kamo riverside. This city, once the ancient capital and home to the imperial family, is the best place to dive into Japan's rich traditions. I'm a foodie at heart, always on the lookout for delicious bites from yatai (food stalls) to omise (traditional restaurants). The street markets here are a flavor paradise! I love exploring Higashiyama Peak, sneaking into ancient temples and shrines, and losing myself in the charming backstreets. I'm a coffee enthusiast, and there's nothing better than sipping a cup by the river and watching locals go about their day. As a home cook with a passion for Asian cuisines, I can show you the best Halal and Muslim-friendly spots and those hidden gems away from the crowds. Let's explore the magic of Kyoto together!

This was a great tour. I had Andi as my tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a great route planned to cover everything I was looking for in the 5 hour time slot I selected. I would recommend this for anyone looking to do a walk through of Kyoto.
