We chose a local guide Haruka. It was at first a bit hard to get in contact with. When we did he was flexible, patient, and helpful and since we used taxis we were able to get to many sites. When you have a short time in Kyoto and want to visit many sites you should use a local guide with a variety of transportations the best option to see this beautiful city.

Vanessa was a great tour guide! She connected with us before our tour to make sure we had a good plan, was prompt for the start and she was flexible as we made some last minute changes based on timing. It was cool to see the city with someone who lives there - it did feel like touring the city with a friend.

We had a really good time visiting the three places in Kyoto. Eko Heru was friendly and knowledgeable, and he brought us to places only the locals would know. And the timing was impeccable as we were able to catch the sunset view at Kiyomizu-dera, and had less tourists around. Overall, it was a good company and we would surely recommend Eko to anyone who needs a private tour of Kyoto.
