It was a wonderful walk in Kyoto. Kente - our guide (I hope I spelled his name correctly ) was very good and very knowledgeable - I was here with Japanese friends who did not speak English well and our guide was fluent in English and Japanese which made our experience very special and communication easy! I learned a lot about this beautiful place!

We had a fantastic time exploring Kyoto with Raphael as our guide. He was super knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, and he made sure to show us some really cool spots that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. Raphael was also really easy to talk to, and we appreciated how he adjusted the tour to match our interests and pace. His recommendations for places to eat and shop were spot on, and we loved the little local insights he shared throughout the day. It felt more like hanging out with a friend who knew the city inside out than a typical tour. All in all, if you’re looking for a laid-back and informative tour of Kyoto, Raphael is your guy. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend him!
