Milo was an incredible guide! He was one of the all time best we have ever had. His walking tour of Kyoto hit so many highlights. He was very considerate about asking if we wanted to take breaks. He did a great job of combining the history and important sites we needed to see but mixing in fun, coffee, shops, and unique places to try street food that was specific to the area. All of his recommendations were spot on! His English is perfect and he is incredibly knowledgeable. To make matters even more impressive, due to no fault of his own, we completely messed up our arrival and showed up two hours late and he still gave us the entire full tour which he certainly did not have to do. If you have Milo as your guide you are very lucky!!!
