It was amazing, gave very good inside info. Really knew his history. Answered all of our questions. Took us to amazing shops typical from the area. Loved the tour highly recommended. Excellent photographer.

Our tour guide, Milo, was absolutely fantastic. So knowledgeable, friendly, and invested in sharing the culture and information. Very welcoming and showed us the not-so-touristy areas of Kyoto which was fabulous.

Our Kyoto tour with Toshi and City Unscripted was fantastic! My 11-year-old son and I had a blast. The itinerary was packed, but Toshi managed the timing perfectly, getting us to Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Temple!), Arashiyama, and Nishiki Market all before our finish time. Toshi was an excellent guide – friendly, professional, and super patient, especially with my son. He really made the tour special for him. The bamboo forest in Arashiyama was a definite highlight, and my son was mesmerized by the Golden Temple. We highly recommend Toshi and City Unscripted for a fun and memorable Kyoto experience! Five stars!
