We had a great tour with Mi An - she introduced us to history and culture of Kyoto and took us to such beautiful and interesting people. 5 hours with her went by so quickly! Absolutely enjoyed the tour. Thanks Mi An for making Kyoto so memorable for us.

Walking through the city with Hiroyuki was like strolling through one's favorite city with a good acquaintance. He had put together a very good route with several wonderful surprises off the beaten tourist track, while also taking individual wishes into account. Besides his knowledge of the history and also the cultural and political development of the country, he also knew exactly where to find local art and food. And as the icing on the cake, you get a very good photographer, so that in the photos it looks as if you had the Arashiyama bamboo forest all to yourself :-). Thank you very much, it was a really wonderful day.

We had a lovely time with Anissa. She is smart, well traveled, kind, and was able to tailor our trip to our needs. It was a great balance between seeing a lot and having some down time to get out of the heat. We would book Anissa again!
