3 Private tours & activities

Yoshihiro (Ted) changed our meeting point closer to our hotel which was very kind. We learnt a lot about how to get around and some local history in our 1.5hr tour. Ted even went out of his way to get us to the markets at the end of our tour. A friendly local guide.

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

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

Guia was wonderful, helping us orient ourselves on our first day. She adapted instantly to our interests, telling us cultural and historical information. As we walked through the market, she pointed out the best foods and products. It was like visiting a friend who lives in a foreign city—comfortable and warm. Thank you!

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

Thank you a lot Eiji for such a wonderful walk. Eiji is very friendly and open local guide. He showed us some of the must see spots in Kyoto and few hidden jams. We learned a lot about Japanese culture and about the city itself. Besides that we just had a great time and as a bonus received so many beautiful pictures as a memory.

Ted was a wonderful guide who know explanations to everything we wanted to know- since this is out first time in Japan, it was a lot:) he was very kind, very patient, very entertaining and had very good recommendations for our whole stay in Kyoto - Perfect Information in a Brief but still relaxed way. Until next time, Ted!

Ted was an amazing guide. He speaks very well English and answered all of our questions. The tour was great to get a good first impression of Kyoto of and even after our tour he was still available for questions and advice. 100% recommend

Fun, knowledgeable , kind , accommodating, flexible, and the MOST wonderful person to see Kyoto with. Kyoto through his eyes is magical. The only way to see Kyoto. THE most authentic experience. Thank you Eiji. You made our trip so so special!
