We could not have had a better guide as Ceci. She gave us a very complete and comprehensive all over Kyoto. It was a walking tour and we used taxi and public transportation to go to the attractions. I think that 8 hr tour gave us a very wide insight of the city. The best part of our tour was the pleasant companion of Ceci. Totally recommended.
Show moreEiko was a fabulous guide - very friendly and kind - she paced the entire tour so well and made the experience wonderful!
Show moreToshi gave a great tour. He was on time and ready for us. Explained everything and shared his local knowledge well. This Tour is a mostly walking tour. You do take some taxi and trains on your own dime. The costs to get into the venues are also additional. All in all I would book again. Thanks
Show moreMiki was SO GREAT at listening to how I wanted our trip to go: focus on cultural aspects, history, being flexible to what we wanted the day of. She was warm, funny, welcoming. She also offered to take pictures of us which was super helpful. She also figured out how to incorporate breaks through our tour since it was so hot outside. Be communicative with your guide up front so they can help cater this tour to your needs, and you'll love it. Travel tip: Bring an UV umbrella to help protect you from the blazing sun. Highly recommend this tour for Kyoto if you want something that fits your pace and travel style.
Show moreMichael knew the history, language , culture and made us feel like we were old friends, the tour went by in a blink! We had so much fun and he recommended food places and souvenir shops as well as other sites to see on the rest of our days! I can’t believe we lucked out to get such a wonderful guide!
Show moreAi was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and had all the best recommendations in Kyoto! She was wonderful to talk to and had answers to every question!
Show moreNo. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.
After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.
Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.
That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.
You can request a host, but since most hosts have other commitments, we can't guarantee they'll be available. However, we carefully match you with a host based on your interests and preferences, making it feel like exploring with a friend rather than a stranger.
Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.
