    It was great having a knowledgeable Local guide accompanying us who could give us a running commentary of what we were seeing, guide us to the interesting areas, shops and cafes and communicate with the shop owners on our behalf.

    Milo was a great tour guide to a lovely city. I was actually here in Kyoto last year and saw many of the same sites but without a guide. I gained so much additional perspective by going again but actually learning about what I was looking at! For example, Milo pointed out several geisha houses I'd have never noticed, and explained the cultural significance of the practice. Despite the rain, Milo picked us up from our hotel and walked us through several historical sites, shrines, and temples. He was very knowledgable about the history of the city and its culture. We'd all recommend.

    Apart from an initial problem in meeting up, that was no fault of Almi’s, it was a great experience. Almi made the best of our limited time and showed me so many interesting things in the two areas we managed to cover. She made it a very personal experience and we got on so well. I thought it was excellent and can’t praise Almi more highly.

    It is incredibly helpful to have a local guide when you arrive in a city you have never been to before. Jorge was very friendly and knowledgeable and catered well to our needs. This allowed us to quickly get a good first impression of Kanazawa.

    Akari was a gem. She was very knowledgeable. She customized the tour and showed us the highlights of Kanazawa based on our questions and interests. I’d highly recommend booking this tour to get the layout of Kanazawa at the start of your stay. Thanks Akari!
