3 Private tours & activities

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!

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.

Eiji was the perfect guid. Well thought out tour. Great bits of insight into the culture. Eiji was easy to talk to and both my son and I really enjoyed the tour.

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!

Tiro was the best guide! He was very knowledgable and interactive with our kids, kept everyone engaged, yet learning tons of information about Kyoto and Japan. Highly recommend Tiro!!!!

Shohei was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic sharing the Japan experience with us.

As soon as you meet Tiro you can see he is a nice person, very comfortable in his role as guide. He also has huge passion for Japanese history and culture. We had a great afternoon and learned so much. It is a wonderful thing to do and you can see that there is such a difference between a personalised tour versus ambling around yourself

We had a great tour. Guia gave us the highlights filled with a ton of cultural info. We got a real sense of history and place! She was super friendly and even gave us many restaurant recommendations which we loved!

Ryuki was a great guide for our 3 hour tour of the Gion area of Tokyo. He took a group of 5 adults (23-56) and kept us entertained and informed while showing us memorable shrines, hidden gems and the Geiko region of Gion. We even had time to stop for delicious cherry blossom ice cream - highly recommended!

Our City Kick-Starter 90 minute tour with Yoshihiro/Ted was a great way to get our bearings on our first day in Kyoto. We toured the Gion area and shopping district, visited a temple, and learned so much about the Geisha history and lifestyle. Great experience!
