Karl was an excellent leader, we enjoyed his explanations and love for the city. Seeing it in the evening was relaxing and brought a new appreciation to Kyoto.

Fantastic experience that I would highly recommend. Our guide Vincent was very knowledgeable, made sure I heard all of his commentary (I am a little hard of hearing) and included our 18 year old daughter in all of the conversations.

We did our tour with Alex. We found him to be knowledgable and very keen to share lots of interesting information about Kyoto and Japanese culture and traditions which we really enjoyed. Alex took us all over one of the main attraction of Kyoto which is Gion, including some interesting back streets with no tourists. Alex interacted very well with everyone in our small group and did his best to answer everyone’s questions to the best of his knowledge which was very refreshing after we did a couple of tours in Tokyo where information was not flowing from our guides at all. We also found Alex to be quite friendly and professional in his manners.

The walking tour was terrific. We saw two geishas and visited the most beautiful back streets. Our host was lovely. A suggestion would be to shorten the tour to two hours so you can make it back in time to enjoy the restaurants.
