Ted was a perfect host on our tour. He was well prepared and told us a lot of stories about Kyoto‘s history and Japan’s religions. He is so polite and helped us with our further plans in and around Kyoto.
We loved our tour with Guia. She showed us the main shrine and the surrounding markets and explained the role of geisha and the training involved. Whilst we didn’t see any geisha on their day off, she provided us with the details for a geisha performance and also arranged for us to attend a tea ceremony. Would definitely use her again, if we’re in Kyoto again
Don’t hesitate if you are thinking of booking the city kickstarter tour. ALEC personalized our tour and it met our needs perfectly. I highly recommend both him and this tour on your arrival to Edinburgh. My granddaughter and myself are thankful to have done this. Thank you again, Alec.
We had a wonderful heritage tour with Marcin. We learned a lot about Warsaw during the war and he personalized it for our family. We are grateful for all of his help, expertise and guidance.
We had a great time touring Kyoto with Guia. We enjoyed her stories and she was great with my three kids. We enjoyed seeing some of the less crowded areas of Kyoto, and the kids had fun learning how to walk like ninjas. Her tour was accessible and leisurely paced - we took the stairs up to the temple, but there was a van available or a less steep path.
We were a family of 5 and booked both a Hidden Gems and Food Tour with Yoshihiro (Ted) in December. Ted’s knowledge and engaging stories meant that both our tours were unique, fun, different to the run-of-the-mill guides and entertaining! We would absolutely recommend Ted as a guide for any Kyoto visitor
We are a family of five from Chicago and really enjoyed our experience with Shohei's guidance. He is curious and knowledgeable and able to answer questions in a creative and thorough way. He clearly loves Kyoto and we would highly recommend
We took a 90 minute tour with Alec which was a great introduction to the city Alec has an amazing depth of knowledge relating to the history of the city and he was happy to share this with us. I would highly recommend him and will certainly book him again on my return.
Jason was a joy to go on a walking tour with. He was incredibly informative and very knowledgeable as well. It was a very well worth it 2 hour tour!! Do not miss this opportunity.
Ted (Yoshihiro) was amazingly knowledgeable and and friendly. We had such a great time learning about Geiko and Maiko. He took us to such beautiful spots and we learned so much from him. We definitely enjoyed the whole tour.
