Perfecta introducción a Kyoto
Hemos hecho un tour con Yoshimiro el primer día de visita a Kyoto. Ha sido la forma perfecta de empezar a conocer la ciudad. Yoshimiro es una persona muy preparada y atenta, siempre disponible a contestar a cualquier pregunta sobre la ciudad o la cultura de Japón. Ha sido una experiencia muy positiva.

Shohei is an excellent guide
I highly recommend Shohei. My wife and I had a tour of the Shotgun Palace and the golden pavilion with Shohei. His explanations of the history and customs of these sites were fantastic. He is very knowledgeable, fun and has a great sense of humor. He has lived in the US and helped me better understand Japan's history and culture. You will certainly enjoy a tour with Shoei!

beyond the normal touristy details
Eiji was very informative as you would expect guides to be on this platform but his ability to add in the extra details that appealed to me, architecture / sport / music details and ensured i did not miss the perfect photo opportunity was outstanding.

Wonderful Tour with Ryuki
We had a wonderful morning with Ryuki visiting temples and hidden gems. It was a wonderful intro to Kyoto and he even tailored our time to manage the heat of late July by visiting a delicious cherry blossom ice cream shop (our 9 year old loved it). I would absolutely recommend Ryuki to anyone visiting, he is born and raised in Kyoto making this a true "with locals" experience! Thank you Ryuki!
