Show moreMilo was an amazing host in Kyoto. He was very knowledgeable about Kyoto and the broader history of Japan, showed us some hidden gems and made sure the whole family had a great time! Based on his experience with us, he also recommended some additional sites and experiences we would enjoy during the rest of our visit. We had a great time and highly recommend a tour with Milo!
