Great City to discover. It’s advisable to know yourself which program you like to do (i. e. what exactly you want to see and experience). Guide was very helpful in organizing transportation and assisting with translating. Be prepared that English often is not spoken, even by young Japanese. However, people are happy to help foreigners, including the Guide. What did you enjoy the most? Learning about Japanese Tea

I had a most memorable day with Taibi, in Kyoto! It didn't feel as if I was with a guide. I felt like I had known him all my life. He's Moroccan, but has lived in Japan for over 20 years so had extensive knowledge of Kyoto. He took me to the places where the locals hang out and made sure that I didn't feel like a tourist. Hands down the best experience I've had and I travel quite frequently. I legit didn't want to leave. Saw so much of Kyoto in 8 hours and now I'm planning my next trip back!

Excellent walking and public transport tour Helped us find spots we didn’t even know existed. Our guide was most informative about history and also everyday life in Japan.
