Great one-day visit

Published on Nov, 2024

We’re a group of 3 people and Maha guided us through Kyoto and the must to see sites for a one-day visit. Maha is very friendly, professional and knows very well the town and the Japanese culture. We enjoyed being with her and learning more about Japan. Thus, she gave us advice about our trip and good places where to go eating. We highly recommend her services. We all speak French and Maha speaks perfectly our language.

History of Kyoto

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an incredible experience with Guia! She was not only extremely knowledgeable about the city's history and landmarks but also made the entire day feel like we were exploring with a close friend. Her friendly and engaging personality made us feel right at home, and she even took the time to tailor the tour to our interests. It was such a joy to spend the day with her, and their passion for the city truly shone through. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and personal tour experience!

Great Day in Kyoto

Published on Oct, 2024

I had just one day for a day trip down from Tokyo and Sebastian made it a great experience, tailoring the day to include several sights I wanted to see. He was personable, knowledgeable about all of the many attractions and areas we saw, and also it was very interesting to hear his explanations about modern life in Kyoto and Japan. Highly recommended tour!

Eiji is AMAZING!

Published on Sep, 2024

We requested a custom 7 hour e-bike tour of Kyoto with Eiji. He did not disappoint! Eiji paced the day beautifully. We saw a wonderful collection of temples, shrines, parks, and neighborhoods. As a bonus, he took incredible photographs the entire day which he quickly shared with us via WhatsApp. He took us to places which were not over run by tourists, so we could really enjoy the various sites. We had done a tour of Gion the day prior, so he rearranged the day to not be repetitive. For a lunch break, we went to the most special, authentic, unique tofu restaurant. He picked it based on our food preferences. It was the most beautiful lunch I ever ate and the tofu was absolutely delicious. The conversation we had during lunch was so interesting. Throughout the day, Eiji taught us about Japanese history, culture, religions, customs and traditions without over doing it. It was a fairly expensive day. However, I think it was worth every penny to effectively and efficiently see Kyoto with a fabulous guide and overall delightful human being. Seven hours on an e-bike is literally easier than one hour of walking! I highly recommend it as an option for touring Kyoto. Eiji's English is excellent and he is a truly kind and warm individual. If you are lucky enough to get Eiji you will have an unforgettable tour. Happy Travels!

Eiji is incredible!!!

Published on Sep, 2024

We did a 7 hour custom bike tour of Kyoto with Eiji. He exceeded our expectations in every way. He paced the day beautifully. We saw a fabulous combination of temples, shrines, parks, neighborhoods, etc. He customized the day perfectly and even picked a fabulous restaurant for a well needed lunch break. I cannot recommend Eiji enough. Choose an e-bike tour, it is much less strenuous than walking and you can cover so much ground. Eiji took beautiful pictures all day which he promptly shared with us. His English is perfect and he is a kind and wonderful human being. Happy Travels!
