Latest reviews from our guests

    My family and I recently had the pleasure of taking a walking tour in Kyoto with our guide Kenta Suzuki. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day with Kenta as he had an impressive depth of knowledge of the places we visited. Well organised with clear friendly communication, Kenta is like a friend to us rather than a guide. Overall, the tour with Kenta exceeded our expectations which made our experience memorable and enjoyable.

    My wife, I and 4 month old baby were in Kyoto and we did a private tour of Gion with Kenya. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough and we enjoyed the tour very much. He also had the answer to everything we asked in respect of Kyoto and Gion, related or not to the tour. Our baby held the start of the tour up with a poonami but Kenya was happy to move the timing back for us. Would certainly recommend him and this tour to everyone.

    My daughter and I booked a Kyoto walking food tour with City Unscripted. We exchanged some emails with our guide Hanna to arrange meeting point and what we would be doing - a great start. Hanna was there waiting. The next 3 hours went in a flash. Hanna is a superb guide. Her English is excellent and a bubbly, fun person to be with. Her knowledge was fantastic. Highly recommend City Unscripted and Hanna.

    Nisa was an incredible guide! She made the day so fun! Not only did we eat interesting and delicious food, but she took us to places we would never have found on our own. If you are looking for a great food tour, go with Nisa!
