Great tour, Kenta is a good host, he adjust the places to see, all were beautiful and we can talk about customs and culture of the City. You should know that yo have to pay the transportation costs, the entrances fee for all places, just to take in consideration. Thank you for this experience.

Met on time, was very knowledgeable about the area and the cultural differences and eccentricities of the world. He was very flexible to our requests and super helpful along the day and answered all of our questions.

Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable. We had a large party and he was helpful in keeping us together. Justin was also great at managing our time so that we could a lot of things. Would recommend to others.

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.
