I can’t rate Alex enough, he is a great tour guide and person. We had many great conversations covering lots of topics - not only about the tour itself but life in Japan and similar. He took us around the area of the bamboo grove, tourist and non-tourist spots with some great anecdotes and information about the area, buildings and history. We would never have gone to many of the areas without Alex’s guide, which would have been an absolute shame to miss. I will 100% be rebooking with Alex for any future trips around Kyoto.

I highly recommend Alex as a tour guide! He was really knowledgeable and thorough, and extremely fun and personable as well. He took us through his city of Kyoto and was able to show us a lot of behind the scenes places we would not have found ourselves. Thank you again for a wonderful morning, Alex!

Milo put together a perfect 6 hour day for us hitting the highlights of Kyoto. He has an impressive understanding of Japanese history, customs, and culture. He is easygoing and engages his clients with a show of interest and sensitivity. Very highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto.
