Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

We had a lovely time with Tiana visiting Kyoto. She was really knowledgeable and was great catching the interest of the kids with many details about shrines, temples and also life in Japan in general. It was really a great guided tour.

Masaya was an excellent host during our trip in Kyoto. He accommodated us every step of the way, meeting us at our hotel, answering all of our questions with history and humor, giving us advice on the best places to eat for the food we wanted. Couldn't have asked for a better guide during our tour. 10/10
