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.

My son and I spent a wonderful day with Masaya from Kyoto Unscripted, who showed us some of the highlights of Kyoto, some well-known and others less so. He was personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and we had a truly memorable experience. I feel that we were able to gain a much deeper insight into the culture of this fascinating city from our guide than we would have if we had joined a group tour or went it alone. It was an efficient way to see the city. We never felt rushed nor was it too slow or boring, as Masaya adjusted to our pace. One unplanned moment was when Masaya took us to the antique district in Gion, because my son expressed an interest in calligraphy. We didn't find any calligraphy that we liked, but we did find two original paintings by unknown artists over a hundred years old, which we bought for an extremely reasonable price. These would serve as much better momentoes of our trip than any kitsch from a souvenir shop. Thanks again, Masaya!

Alvin was amazing. He took our suggestions and requests and built us a terrific day of activities that showed us the best of Kyoto. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a fun conversationalist. Overall, it was a lot of fun, and we saw more than we'd have seen on a group tour.
