Show moreKiyoto was our guide. Highly recommend!! He was kind, very knowledgeable, and had great patience with our group as we’re a little older so he had to slow his pace for us. It was no problem. Very accommodating to us. Tailors the tour to individual needs and interests. Make sure you ask for him. You will not be disappointed.
